  • Comment Perhaps I'm terribly ignorant, but the bottom has a lot more deviations from roundness than I would have thought such a large body as the moon would have at this scale. Is that accurate? Adam Cuerden (talk) 12:58, 3 February 2015 (UTC) Huh. Apparently so. Support Adam Cuerden (talk) 13:00, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Had to check a couple other images of the moon. Check out how uneven - what I'm pretty sure is the south polar region - is. Those irregularities from circular must be truly massive mountains and such to be visible on the outline from Earth. Adam Cuerden (talk) 13:44, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
