2020 December 05 - Mons Rumker in the Ocean of Storms

In today's image, we see an image of our Moon showing a region of the Ocean of Storms and the volcanic region known as Mons Rumker. This is near where China's Chang'e 5 lander landed recently. A sample of material was collected and is ready for its journey back to Earth for future study.
