Astrophotography by Anthony Ayiomamitis

Lunar Image Gallery - Dorsa

Welcome to my lunar photo gallery and, more specifically, my web page dedicated to lunar features under the category "DORSUM". By definition, the term "DORSUM" refers to a mare ridge whereas the term "DORSA" is restricted to a network of ridges. Listed below are all forty dorsa. Each thumbnail image is accompanied by the selenographic coordinates as well as the physical size of the dorsum/dorsa of interest. Clicking on any of the thumbnail images will permit for the assessment of the same image in a larger format which also includes imaging details.

Note: The photo below is available in inverted colour by moving your mouse over any portion of the same image.
