Sinus Roris

Sine Roris - Latin for bay of the rope - is an extension of Oceanus Procellarum on the Earth's moon. The name comes from the Italian astronomer Giovanni Riccioli (1598-1671); the official designation has been awarded by the International Astronomical Union in 1935.

The dark gray basalt surface of the solidified lava lake has an average diameter of 202 kilometers. The bay is located on the near side of the moon at the selenographic coordinates 54 ° 00 'North and 56 ° 36' West. She goes to the south at Mons Oceanus Procellarum on Rümker in the east, and is connected to the Mare Frigoris. Within the bay, the narrow groove Rima Sharp runs.
