Hold on - is this Mare Moscoviense? Evercat 02:38, 20 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I'd better mention that my source for what I wrote in the article was:

I believe so. See a Usenet post from a while ago where there's a link to a map (on a USSR stamp) showing Russian versions of the old names for features (Sea of Dreams, Bay of Astronauts etc); this shows the Mare Mockba (scuse my Cyrillic) in plausibly the same location as modern maps show Mare Moscoviense. --JTN 03:43, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Of course, it'd be great if someone could do some actual proper research with tools other than Google to find the background of this and other names like Mare Desiderii :) --JTN 04:07, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
