How Did the Lunar Maria Form, and what are the notable ones? How Did the Lunar Maria Form, and what are the notable ones?

Around 4.1 billion years ago, the newly-formed Moon was still cooling after its formation. It formed a thin crust on the outermost surface on top of hot bubbling magma. It made me think. About the nature of memory. About the things we choose to remember, those we choose to forget and those things we’ve even forgotten that we’ve forgotten. “We forget nothing – memories are always there. We’re just afraid to look. But why? Fear is just fear. All we have to do is look, and we won’t be afraid.”a b c d "Mare Humboldtianum". Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature.

Catherine Hope has a pretty good memory. She remembers most things that occurred in her thirty-two years. However, there is something about her ninth year that has been completely blanked out in her memory. It was at or around that time that she was no longer called Catherine Maria. It was also around then that issues with insomnia started. What was this that made her totally expel memories from her being? Could she possible someday remember and more importantly did she really want to?

How did the Moon form?

This story is about Catherine and why she can't remember her 9th year. Recently she has lost her house due to flooding and has decided to volunteer at a flood crisis call center where she can be a comforting ear to those on the other end of the line. This, however, starts to trigger nightmares and memories. What is her mind hiding from her? What happened when she was 9? Maria is a fantastic main character. I felt a lot of sympathy for her and the situations that she finds herself in. She’s a very real character in that she’s not perfect and she does make mistakes but this helps increase the readers empathy for her as we have all found ourselves in similar situations! I loved her sense of humour, particularly her hilarious observations of other people which had me laughing out loud at times. It was very poignant to read about her broken relationship with her mother, which is very fraught and some of the awful things her mother says about her. It was hard to read about her trying to not let these things upset her and pretend not to care. The state of this relationship is made worse by the loss of a much-loved father and you really feel for her when she makes comparisons between how things are now compared with the past. The crater overlaps with surrounding Nectaris, Tranquillitatis and Crisium basins. It is unusual in that it has no ‘mascons’ – invisible concentrations of mass hidden below the surface of most lunar mare, which are great enough to pull orbiting spacecraft off course. Mare Frigoris I knew from the moment I started this the reason of why she didn't remember her 9th year. It's blatantly obvious with her bad disposition and penchant for swearing ever since she was 10 years old. The problem is that this should of elicited sympathy with me but it never did. I found her to be insufferable more often than not. I don't do pity parties and that's what this book felt like to me. Poor me, poor me. Her friends Christopher and Fern were wonderful characters and her interactions with them were by far my favorite parts of the book except for when she was being awful to them. She has tried to get answers from her mother but her mother won't speak of it. Their relationship has always been strained and her mother makes it abundantly clear what a disappointment she thinks Catherine is.

a b Clark, Liat (9 February 2011), First underground cave photographed on the moon, Wired UK, archived from the original on 10 February 2011 , retrieved 24 January 2016 Some sources also list a Palus Nebularum ( Latin palūs nebulārum / ˈ p eɪ l ə s n ɛ b j ʊ ˈ l ɛər ə m/ "Marsh of Mists") at 38.0° N, 1.0° E. However the designation for this feature has not been officially recognized by the IAU. Notable features include ejecta from the 40km diameter Harpalus crater that covers a large portion of Frigoris’s floor in the west and, on the south shore, the scars of 88km Aristoteles and 67km Eudoxus, both complex craters with terraced walls. Mare Humboldtianum Maria’s work at the call center added an interesting slant to the story, as it allowed the reader to see a different, kinder version of Maria then what she normally showed to the world. She really seemed to care about the callers and want to help them. It was quite poignant at times to read about her shifts at the call center as I felt that she was in need of a bit of love and care too at times which she wasn’t always receiving. Some of the things that people phoned up about were hilarious as they were quite random and sometimes not even flood related. This caused some of the more comic and memorable moments in the book for me that I have remembered long after finishing reading.What a complicated but throughly intriguing character Catherine turned out to be, Louise Beech has an incredible talent that enables her to create such complex and flawed characters, she manages to get into the heads of ordinary people and makes them extraordinary, making the reader care about the characters she’s created. When the reader first meets Catherine she seems surly, antagonistic and defensive, she also appears to be in self destruct mode, but it’s not long before you become enchanted by this unbelievable character, she’s sensitive, passionate and caring and her story will break your heart. The Moon has been volcanically active throughout much of its history, with the first volcanic eruptions having occurred about 4.2 billion years ago. Volcanism was most intense between 3.8 and 3 billion years ago, during which time much of the lunar lava plains were created. This activity was originally thought to have petered out about 1 billion years ago, but more recent evidence suggests that smaller-scale volcanism may have occurred in the last 50 million years. Today, the Moon has no active volcanoes even though a significant amount of magma may persist under the lunar surface. The writing totally surrounded me. I felt I was there in Hull, I was Catherine whilst my own life in Leeds continued around me as I read. I felt what she felt.

Galilei therefore dubbed them maria after the Latin word for "seas". The bowl-shaped depressions distributed throughout the lunar landscape were first suggested to be volcanoes in 1665 by British chemist Robert Hooke. Their volcanic origin was bolstered by their similarity to the Phlegraean Fields craters in Italy, although much larger. French astronomer Pierre Puiseux proposed that the Moon's craters were collapsed volcanic domes that had vented all their gases. Pierre-Simon Laplace, another French astronomer, proposed in the 18th century that meteorites were volcanic projectiles ejected from lunar craters during major eruptions. [1] British astronomer William Herschel, in one of his early papers, claimed to have seen three volcanoes on the Moon in the late 1700s, which later turned out to be earthshine.
