Something i have never checked or even thought about is the visible sights you can see from the earth of the moon. If your a follower of this blog you will have seen the recent post of the moon in its full light from the sun, and i have never commented on anything or any object visible on it. Well tonight I got the head into the books and came up with a sure-enough answer to the two creators visible just on the lower side of the moon in the shot below.
