Irregular Mare Patches (IMPs) are small features believed to be related to very young lunar volcanism. Because of their small size, most are only visible in the high resolution NAC images and can be very difficult to find.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Irregular Mare Patches (IMPs) are small features believed to be related to very young lunar volcanism. Because of their small size, most are only visible in the high resolution NAC images and can be very difficult to find. Dots on the WAC mosaic show the locations of all the known IMPs; the red dot shows the location of a small IMP near Maskelyne crater (inset), centered at (4.330ºN, 33.750ºE). Note the difference between the two scale bars. The shapefile of IMP locations is a good tool for locating these tiny but fascinating features [NASA/GSFC/Arizona State University].
