The mosaic
images around Copernicus shows a great number of lunar volcanism features, such
as effusive lunar domes near Hortensius and Milichius. Last image shows (in the
upper left corner) the intrusive lunar feature "The Helmet". The helmet is an
inofficial name and was inspired by the science fiction Star Wars
saga.
