− | <p>Earlier I created an orientation map of the [http://www.lpod.org/?m=20060905 NE quadrant] of the farside to help me learn my way around. Since then I’ve published a <em>S&T</em> article (Jan, 2007) about the geology of the farside, but there is still no useful sketch map, so I continue with another quardrant. This one is the SW quadrant that contains the dark and deep part of the [http://www.psrd.hawaii.edu/July98/spa.html South Pole - Aitken Basin]. Most the maria on the farside are within the floor of SPA. The other big patch of farside maria is Orientale, at the western limb. South of Orientale is a dark annulus of probable pyroclastic material. I wonder when there will be a good farside image map?</p> | + | <p>Earlier I created an orientation map of the [[September_5,_2006|South Pole - Aitken Basin]].
