At the top to the image is Mare Crisium. Directly below it is Mare Tranquilitatus. Mare Serenitatus is to the left. On the right is Mare Fecundus. Branching off Mare Serenitatus down and right is Mare Nectaris.
Below Mare Senenitatus is Mare Imbrium. The edge of Sinus Iridium, the Bay of Rainbows, is highlighted by the terminator, the line between the light and dark parts of the Moon.
Moving to the right along the terminator is the bright spot of the crater Copernicus. Further to the right is an extension of Oceanus Procellarum, including Mare Cogitum.
The bright crater on the right casting rays across the surface is the crater Tycho.
The rough southern lunar highlands is highlighted by the terminator on the far right edge.
The Magnolia Champaca, or Champak, is native to the Himalayan rainforests, and during monsoon season, can grow at a rate of inches per day.
Unlike the Southern Magnolia, (magnolia grandiflora), the flowers are not very large or showy. However, the flowers produce a sweet scent that is one of the primary scents of the perfume Joy, leading the tree to sometimes be called, in English, the Joy perfume tree.
