The Encyclopedia Britannica has been the undisputed leader of English-language encyclopedias since it first appeared in 1768. Its articles were and are authoritative and often exhaustive. Thus, this engraving from the 1797 edition should be expected to show the Moon as it was currently known.

Craters can have their diameters and depths measured fairly directly, but domes are such low and gently sloped features that it is very difficult to measure accurately their shadow lengths to derive topographic information.
