Learn the Names of the Areas of the Moon Right NOW

To remember the names of the areas of the Moon, you have to remember two things. One: In the upper right hand area of the Moon, there is an almost perfectly circular spot which is called the Sea of Crises. Because of the way the Moon goes around the Earth, sometimes the spot is closer to the top of the Moon, and sometimes it is closer to the right side, but it is almost perfectly circular, and somewhat off by itself. OK, remember that? Sea of Crises. The second thing you have to remember in order to remember the names of the major areas, is that whoever named them in the first place had WAY TOO MUCH FUN while naming them, and is probably chortling in his grave to this day.

OK, remember - Over to the right - The Sea of Crises. Next to it, is the Sea of Serenity. Below that is the Sea of Tranquility(where the first Apollo landed). Below that is the Sea of Nectar (which is probably a euphemism for alcohol), which is next to the Sea of Fertility (hmmm. Serenity, Tranquility, alcohol, and Fertility...) which is probably why they are all near the Sea of Crises. Next, all the way on the left side of the Moon, opposite the Sea of Crises, is the Sea of Moisture, which is next to the Sea of Clouds, which are below the Ocean of Storms, and after you have storms, you have the Sea of Rain, which is below the Sea of Cold. The Sea of Cold is sort of the long blotch that is at the North Pole of the Moon, and if you remember that the North Pole on Earth is pretty cold, then it makes sense that the Sea at the North Pole of the Moon would be cold, too. Then, in the middle of the face of the man in the Moon, are two small blotches which are sinuses, and the Sea of vapors. I told you that whoever named these things had a sense of humor.

OK, you try it. The North Pole of the Moon would have a Sea of Cold. Over on the right would be an almost perfectly circular spot called the Sea of Crises. Directly in towards the center of the Moon is an area called the Sea of Tranquility, and below that, is the Sea of Nectar (or alcohol), next to the Sea of Fertility. Serenity, Tranquility, Nectar and Fertility gets us back to the Sea of Crises for some reason. Probably humor. The Latin name Humorum is the name of the blotch directly across the face of the Moon from the Sea of Crises, and means the Sea of Moisture, which is next to the Sea of Clouds, and the two of them are below the Ocean of Storms, which is next to the Sea of Rain, and after the Rain, is the Cold. Then, in the middle of the face of the Man in the Moon, are two sinuses, and the Sea of Vapors. I tell you, the guy had a seriously warped sense of humor.
