GALILAEI

The western limb of the Moon and western edge of Oceanus Procellarum. The observer using a large telescope will be attracted by the rilles on the floor of the crater Hevelius. Nearby lies the unique formation Reiner Gamma. The region also contains the landing site of the probe Luna 9 (which made the first soft-landing on the Moon).
