The crater rim is illuminated, the floor isn't.

Anyway, this got me thinking, does anyone know of any good online maps of the moon? I would like to learn more about what I'm seeing exactly, the names of the various craters and features, etc.
Virtual moon atlas - http://www.ap-i.net/avl/en/start - but you'll need rather a bit of disk space to download it all.
