After a bit of research, I learned that the dark patches on the #moon are the seas – Seas of: Cold, Rain, Serenity, Storms, Vapours, Tranquility, Crises, Clouds, Fertility, Nectar, and Moisture. Early astronomers thought they were actual seas when really theyโ€™re just huge plains formed during lunar volcanic activity, and I think thatโ€™s pretty awesome. #astronomy #physics #space
