34 objects on the Moon · No coastline dataset is held in this repository and none can be fetched here. A hand-drawn outline would be invented geometry sitting next to sourced coordinates at the same visual weight, so the map shows the graticule and the points, and names each place beside it.

point
— A surveyed position. The mark is where the thing is.
soft
