< The first-quarter Moon  The gibbous Moon Photo by Jamie Cooper The
terminator of the gibbous Moon runs through the wide explanse of the
Oceanus Procellarum, which has comparatively few craters and is
therefore easier to find your way around. It is dotted with
comparatively recent individual craters such as Copernicus, Kepler
and Aristarchus, which is the brightest feature on the Moon.
