This is a list of maria (large, dark, basaltic plains) on the Moon. It includes other basaltic plains, including the one oceanus as well as features known by the names lacus, palus and sinus. The modern system of lunar nomenclature was introduced in 1651 by Giovanni Battista Riccioli. [1] Riccioli's map of the Moon was drawn by Francesco Maria Grimaldi, who has a crater named after him.

The callers personal stories that phone into the Flood Crisis centre were all moving and touched me. I have to say I really take my hat off to anyone that works in these sort of calls centre trying to give hope to individuals whose lives for them at times is hopeless. There is no way I could leave there at t he end of the day and shut off from the sort of phone calls that they must receive and to a certain extent I could understand Catherine’s insomnia. Marie In The Moon is one of the most haunting and compelling books I’ve read in a long time, it’s full of dark humour but also filled with warmth, this novel evoked so many emotion I laughed, I cried and then I cried some more, this is a huge testament to the author’s powerful writing. Dark and deeply moving this novel is one book that’s going to stay with me for a long time, and I’m sure I will often think of Catherine’s journey and the horrors she endured. Wow, I adored this book - Catherine reminded me of Eleanor Oliphant in many ways, and her combined humour and profound sadness were just so enduring. 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.a b Frankel, Charles (2005).

The reason that the mare basalts are predominantly located on the near-side hemisphere of the Moon is still being debated by the scientific community. Based on data obtained from the Lunar Prospector mission, it appears that a large proportion of the Moon's inventory of heat producing elements (in the form of KREEP) is located within the regions of Oceanus Procellarum and the Imbrium basin, a unique geochemical province now referred to as the Procellarum KREEP Terrane. [10] [11] [12] While the enhancement in heat production within the Procellarum KREEP Terrane is most certainly related to the longevity and intensity of volcanism found there, the mechanism by which KREEP became concentrated within this region is not agreed upon.

I was bummed that I didn't enjoy this one more.This was a very poignant story about memory and your brain and your body and how you protect yourself from things that you cannot handle... Catherine Maria think she wants to remember, but does she really? And what are the ramifications if she does? The surface of the Moon is covered in huge dark spots, visible from Earth even with the naked eye. These patches are known as maria - a Latin word meaning 'seas'.

With Louise Beech, there is always depth, there are layers to unfold, there are stories beneath stories. I have my own personal story of a kind of mystical experience while reading her debut novel How to Be Brave which you can read about here at Word by Word, and Maria in the Moon has inspired a story song, created by singer Carrie Martin, linked below, the story behind this creative inspiration written about here at Louise Beech - Making Magic With Words. Gupta, R.P.; Srivastava, N.; Tiwari, R.K. (2014). "Evidences of relatively new volcanic flows on the Moon". Current Science. 107 (3): 454–460. Catherine is an intriguing and gorgeously knowable character, her mystery is our mystery and this is less a puzzle than it is an awakening – for her, for us as we read and come to understand her past and how it impacts her present. Memory and the truths we obfuscate to survive is a strong theme here, striking a chord within the reader as the story unfolds. It is clever, intense and ultimately uplifting in a lot of ways. Louise Beech always writes from the heart, her own life experiences are layered in there which gives it that strong authentic edge – never easy to describe or fit into genre boxes, Maria in the Moon encompasses many things – family drama, dark underlying social relevance, hints of psychological thriller but mostly just getting into your head, into those quiet between moments where you live and making you consider things differently.
