Nightspore Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 The Promontorium Heraclides is a mountainous cape in the Mare Imbrium. It is famous for resembling a woman with streaming hair looking across the Bay of Rainbows. The terminator has to be a certain distance from the Mare Imbrium to produce this effect. It’s possible Giovanni Cassini gave it the name ‘Moon Maiden’. The Moon (in Virgo) will be 77.8% illuminated and 42°, 51’ altitude at 22:00 BST on 11/5/22.
