宁静海和宁静海今天风平浪静。不过,它们几乎每天都很平静,因为它们实际上是月海,古老的熔岩流填充在月球上的大型撞击盆地。在这张望远镜拍摄的照片中,光滑的月球“海”与周围明亮的月球高地形成了鲜明的对比,它们也被称为拉丁名Mare Tranquillitatis(右)和Mare Serenitatis。当然,它们的名字是基于历史上,望远镜出现之前的月玛丽亚的名称。用肉眼很容易看到,月球近侧宽阔的地形被想象成地球上广阔的海洋。1969年7月20日,阿波罗11号登月舱鹰号在静海(右下)着陆,建立了静海基地,这是人类第一次在月球上出现。

The Seas of Tranquility and Serenity are calm today. They're calm most every day though, since they are actually lunar maria, ancient lava flows filling in large impact basins on the Moon. Also known by Latin names Mare Tranquillitatis (right) and Mare Serenitatis, the smooth dark lunar "seas" are in stark contrast to the bright cratered lunar highlands surrounding them in this telescopic view. Of course their names are based on the historical, pre-telescopic designations of lunar maria. Easily visible to the unaided eye, the broad features on the Moon's near side were imagined to be like the expansive oceans of planet Earth. On July 20, 1969, the Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle touched down on the Mare Tranquillitatis (at lower right), establishing Tranquility base and the first human presence on the Moon.
