To the left lies Mare Serenitatis, with Mare Tranquillitatis situated just between them, where the Apollo 11 landing site can be found. Below Mare Serenitatis, Mare Imbrium stretches across the surface, and between Mare Imbrium and Mare Serenitatis is the Apollo 15 landing site, marking a significant region of lunar exploration.
