Mare Nubium, lunar geologic map based on photographs collected from terrestrial telescopes. Regions are coloured according to reflectivity and correspond to surface features, such as major impact craters, basins, plains, faults, mountains and other landmarks. The large green coloured crater (upper left) is Bullialdus crater (61 kilometres in diameter) and the crater at lower right corner is Pitatus crater (97 kilometres in diameter). The light purple coloured zone between these two is the Mare Nubium.
