Selenographic Coordinate System

The selenographic coordinate system is a way scientists locate specific features on the Moon's surface, similar to how latitude and longitude are used on Earth. It uses two main measurements: latitude, which indicates how far north or south a point is from the Moon's equator, and longitude, which shows how far east or west a point is from a designated prime meridian. These coordinates help scientists precisely identify, study, and communicate about locations on the Moon, aiding exploration and research.
