Mare Undarum is an irregular shaped sea without the smooth surface seen in many other maria. In the early 1800s, when lunar astronomer Johann Mädler was surveying the region, he discovered dark streaks throughout the region and speculated that they might be caused by vegetation growing across the surface: a forgivable conclusion considering he was looking through an early 95mm refractor. Mare Vaporum The Moon has been volcanically active throughout much of its history, with the first volcanic eruptions having occurred about 4.2 billion years ago. Volcanism was most intense between 3.8 and 3 billion years ago, during which time much of the lunar lava plains were created. This activity was originally thought to have petered out about 1 billion years ago, but more recent evidence suggests that smaller-scale volcanism may have occurred in the last 50 million years. Today, the Moon has no active volcanoes even though a significant amount of magma may persist under the lunar surface. Catherine tries to talk to her mother about her memories... but her mother refuses. And can I just say I did not like the mother's character at ALL. Since many mare basalts fill low-lying impact basins, it was once assumed that the impact event itself somehow caused the volcanic eruption. Note: current data in fact may not preclude this, although the timing and length of mare volcanism in a number of basins cast some doubt on it. Initial mare volcanism generally seems to have begun within 100 million years of basin formation. [8] Although these authors felt that 100 million years was sufficiently long that a correlation between impact and volcanism seemed unlikely, there are problems with this argument. [ citation needed] The authors also point out that the oldest and deepest basalts in each basin are likely buried and inaccessible, leading to a sampling bias. This story is about Catherine and why she can't remember her 9th year. Recently she has lost her house due to flooding and has decided to volunteer at a flood crisis call center where she can be a comforting ear to those on the other end of the line. This, however, starts to trigger nightmares and memories. What is her mind hiding from her? What happened when she was 9?a b "Astronomica Langrenus" (in Italian).

Lunar maria are the dark topographical features that can be observed on the lunar surface, covering about 15% of the Moon's crust, and which have dazzled astronomers and moon-gazers for centuries. This mare is banked by a mountain range on its northwest. Exists in the second ring of a larger mare called Oceanus Procellarum.

This was a dark, moving story that showed the reader what memories can often do to one who has been hurt and find a way to protect oneself from things that have so wounded our body, mind, and soul. There's obviously been a lot of research carried out regarding the floods that actually happened in Hull and it was saddening to read how families were affected by them. I also wasn't aware just how much goes into volunteering on crisis helplines and Louise has portrayed the emotion and dedication that volunteers need to have to be able to do this job just perfectly.

Maria in the Moon is a sometimes emotional, yet at times also a surprisingly witty story. I took to Catherine straight away. Not only do I appreciate a healthy dose of sarcasm but also the level of self-deprecating humour she displays, used to protect herself or hide her innermost feelings. It all just felt entirely relatable. Her relationship with her mother, complicated though it may be, came across as highly realistic and believable. And throughout the story you wonder about the importance of memories and how even things you may have forgotten can have an impact on the rest of your life. H. Hiesinger; J. W. Head; U. Wolf; R.
