TL;DR Summary

Space.com highlights five lunar targets for International Observe the Moon Night 2026: Montes Apenninus—casting a long shadow near Mare Imbrium; a trio of shadowed craters (Plato, Archimedes, Eratosthenes) along the terminator; the Apollo 11 landing site at Tranquility Base; Mare Crisium on the moon’s eastern edge; and Rupes Recta—the 62-mile straight-wall cliff. A telescope of about 4 inches or larger helps reveal the detail, and the first-quarter phase is ideal for viewing.
