7. Endymion   

At the northeastern edge of the Moon disc we see prominent dark spots. The lava flooded floor of the crater Endymion, and the walled plain of Mare Humboldtianum. When the sunlight comes in at a lower angle, we see the mountainous edge that forms an almost closed circle around the Mare. Crossing  the edge we find the crater Belkovich, which lays in the libration area.
