www.eyesonthesky.com  This week, we can see "around the corner" of the Moon to spy a rarely seen Mare, thanks to the tilt of the Moon due to libration.  Several craters can be seen along the way, such as Berosus, Hahn, and Endymion.  But the real treat is the "Lunar X" created by three craters when sunlight strikes the tops of their crater walls for a few hours near First Quarter phase.  Learn when and where to spot that, along with the "Lunar V" feature as well.  See what's up in the night sky every week with "Eyes on the Sky" videos, astronomy made easy.
