Lacus Timoris /ˈleɪkəstɪˈmɔːrɪs/ (Latin timōris, "Lake of Fear") [1] is a small lunar mare on the Moon. It is located at 39.4° S, 27.9° W and is 154 km in diameter. [1]
Hainzel is the southern member of a trio of overlapping lunar impact craters. The composite rim is located at the west edge of Lacus Timoris in the southwest sector of the Moon. The heavily worn crater Mee is attached to the southwest wall; its rim forms a ridge running from the south of the Hainzel formation.
Haidinger is a lunar impact crater that is located in the southwestern part of the Moon. It was named after Austrian geologist Wilhelm von Haidinger. Just to the southwest of the crater is the small lunar mare named Lacus Timoris. Haidinger lies northwest of the crater Wilhelm and east of the irregular formation Hainzel.
Lacus Doloris is a small lunar mare located in the Terra Nivium region at 16.8° N, 8.6° E. It is 103 km in diameter.
Lacus Lenitatis is a small lunar mare in the Terra Nivium region on the Moon. It is located at 14.3° N, 12.1° E and is 78 km in diameter.
Lacus Gaudii is a small lunar mare in the Terra Nivium region of the Moon. It is located at 16.3° N, 12.3° E and is 89 km in diameter.
Lacus Spei is a small lunar mare that is located in the northeastern part of the Moon's near side. To the north is the crater Mercurius and to the west-southwest lies Schumacher.
Lacus Autumni is a region of lunar mare that lies near the western limb of the Moon. Along this side of the lunar surface is a huge impact basin centered on the Mare Orientale. Two concentric mountain rings surround the Orientale mare, the inner ring being named Montes Rook and an outer ring called the Montes Cordillera. Lacus Autumni lies in the northeastern quadrant of the gap between these two mountain rings. This section of the lunar surface is difficult to observe directly from the Earth.
Lacus Bonitatis is a small lunar mare that lies to the northwest of the prominent crater Macrobius. Further to the north of Lacus Bonitatis is the Montes Taurus mountain range.
In planetary geology, a mensa is a flat-topped prominence with cliff-like edges. The term is derived from the Latin word for table, and has the same root as the Spanish word for table, mesa. Mensa is used in the same manner as mesa is used in the Southwest United States.
Lacus Oblivionis is a small lunar mare on the surface of the Moon. It is located at 21.0° S, 168.0° W and is 50 km in diameter. The name was adopted by the IAU in 1976.
Semeykin is a crater in the Ismenius Lacus quadrangle on Mars. It is located at 41.8° north latitude and 351.4° west longitude. The crater measures approximately 74 kilometers in diameter and was named after Boris Semeykin, a Soviet astronomer (1900–1937).
Arsia Chasmata is a steep-sided depression located northeast of Arsia Mons in the Phoenicis Lacus quadrangle on Mars, located at 7.6° S and 119.3° W. It is 97 km long and was named after an albedo name.
Centauri Montes is a group of mountains in the Hellas quadrangle of Mars, located at 38.67°S 95.52°E. It is 270 km across and was named after the albedo feature Centauri Lacus.
Jingpo Lacus is a lake in the north polar region of Titan, the planet Saturn's largest moon. It and similarly sized Ontario Lacus are the largest known bodies of liquid on Titan after the three maria. It is composed of liquid hydrocarbons. It is west of Kraken Mare at 73° N, 336° W, roughly 240 km long, similar to the length of Lake Onega on Earth. Its namesake is Jingpo Lake, a lake in China.
Hammar Lacus is one of a number of hydrocarbon seas and lakes found on Saturn's largest moon, Titan.
Focas Crater is an impact crater in the Ismenius Lacus quadrangle of Mars. It is located at 33.9° N and 347.3° W and its name was approved in 1973. Focas Crater is 76.5 km in diameter. It was named after Jean Focas. Pictures reveal many small channels along its rim; some are visible in pictures below from CTX.
Quenisset is an impact crater on Mars, located in the Ismenius Lacus quadrangle at 34.6° N and 319.4° W. It measures 138 kilometer in diameter. Adopted by IAU's Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature in 1973, the crater was named after French astronomer Ferdinand Quénisset.
Rudaux is an impact crater in the Ismenius Lacus quadrangle of Mars, located at 38.3°N latitude and 309.1°W longitude. It measures 107 kilometers in diameter and was named after French artist and astronomer Lucien Rudaux. The naming was approved by the IAU's Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature in 1973.
