www.eyesonthesky.com The Moon offers up some wonderfully deep-appearing craters as the libration tilts some of the southern portion of the Moon our way. By mid-week, the large walled plains of Maurolycus and Stofler are highlighted along the terminator. And towards the weekend, check out the "Straight Wall" or Rupes Recta in Mare Nubium, along with some other features in that same region. All you need is most any small telescope capable of 75x magnification or more! See what's up in the night sky every week with "Eyes on the Sky" videos, astronomy made easy.
