Apart from the number of features, the atlas also provides libration maps, detail maps of areas of interest (e.g. Apollo landing sites) and a comprehensive index with all main and sub features. The main maps overlap for ease of use in areas on the edge of each map. To increase compatibility with existing observing references, the atlas follows the system of Rükl?s Atlas of the Moon, where the surface of the Moon is divided into 76 individual maps. This small scale allows the observer to identify not only the main features, but also all sub features. Where a smaller scale is necessary, detail maps have been added to the atlas. The basis of each map is high resolution imagery of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. The identification of sub features is less ambiguous compared to other common maps, by using numbers with a reference to the full name on opposing pages. Lunar observers often still refer to features that used to be identified on maps, but are not noted anywhere anymore on modern lunar maps; rilles, elevations and smaller craters whose names have ceased to be identified on official maps of the Moon. Hundreds such features exist and are identified in this Atlas. Features that are officially carried by the IAU and those that are not, are differentiated by colour. 410 0$aPhysics and Astronomy Series 606 $aAstronomy$vObservations 606 $aPlanetary science 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques 606 $aPlanetary Science 615 0$aAstronomy 615 0$aPlanetary science. 615 14$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aPlanetary Science. 676 $a520 700 $atoe Laer$b Fredrick$01885642 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911049205203321 996 $aThe Atlas of the near Side of the Moon$94520945 997 $aUNINA
