cylindrical map projection of the Moon. The Moon's whole surface was mapped by the Clementine spacecraft in 1994, here North is at the top. The dark floor of crater Plato is at the middle top above Mare Imbrium, while the bright floor and rays of crater Tycho is near the middle bottom below Mare Imbrium. Mare Procellarum is at the near left, and Mare Tranquillitatis is just right of centre and Mare Crisium is at the near right. The far left and far right show the contrast of the mostly cratered farside with small isolated mare.
Weiss is the large enclosure to the upper right of center. The pie-pan shaped 17-km crater on its northeast floor is Weiss E. The deeply shadowed 14-km crater directly below Weiss is Cichus B, named for Cichus the 40-km crater in the lower left (with 11-km Cichus C on its southwest rim).
