But! What good is an atlas if you don't know what you are looking at?

Observing the Moon along the Terminator is an excellent source of selenographic (geo is the Earth, seleno is the Moon) information. It explains the many different types of formations, and giving an insight to what I like to call the "open history book" that is the Moon. Great thing too this site also give geographic examples of the same structures. Some atlases do give explanations on features, but this resource is not atlas based but structure base. Nicely compliments any atlas. I often come back to this site to review thoughts of mine. Great resource.

There are many excellent atlases here. Take your time going through them as some may be too simple for you, others too involved. But, you will always learn which ever way you go,
