Explanation:
Mons Rumker,
a 70 kilometer wide
complex of volcanic
domes,
rises some 1100 meters above
the vast, smooth lunar mare known as Oceanus Procellarum,
the Ocean of Storms.
Daylight came to the area late last month.
The lunar terminator, the
shadow line between night and day, runs diagonally across the
left side in this telescopic close-up of a waxing gibbous Moon
from November 27.
China's Chang'e-5
mission landing site is also in the frame.
The probe's lander-ascender combination touch down on the lunar
surface within a region right of center and north of Mons Rumker's domes
on December 1.
On December 3 the ascender left the Ocean of Storms carrying 2 kilograms
of lunar material
for
return to planet Earth.
