Mare Cognitum (Moon)

"Sea that has become known" Ranger VII impact site.

Mare Cognitum is a lunar mare located in a basin or large crater which sits in the second ring of Oceanus Procellarum. To the northwest of the mare is the Montes Riphaeus mountain range, part of the rim of the buried crater or basin containing the mare. Previously unnamed, the mare received its name in 1964 in reference to its selection as the target for the successful impact probe Ranger 7, the first American spacecraft to return close up images 's surface. (wikipedia entry)

A mare is a "sea" or large circular plain. On the Moon they are named after latin terms describing weather and other abstract concepts.
