3D print Mare Orientale, the Moon's bullseye basin

A whole impact basin on one print: the dark central sea and the rings of mountains around it, about 930 km (580 mi) across, from elevation data measured by lunar orbiters.

About Mare Orientale

Mare Orientale is the dark lava plain at the center of a giant impact basin on the Moon. NASA's GRAIL mission describes the basin as about 930 km (580 mi) wide with three distinct rings of mountains; the outermost is the Montes Cordillera and the next the Montes Rook.

GRAIL's gravity maps showed that none of the rings marks the original crater: the impact dug out at least 3.4 million cubic km of rock, and the crater left just after impact was between the two innermost rings in size. The name is Latin for "eastern sea".
