Selenography

Selenography is the science of the physical features of the moon. These include the lunar maria, craters, mountains, etc. Part of the name comes from the ancient Greek goddess of the Moon, Selene.

Selene was the Greek Titan goddess of the moon. Though she is associated with other lunar goddesses Artemis and Hecate, she supersedes them as the moon personified into a divine being. Her hair was long, milky, and flowing, and she either rode across the heavens on a horse, or was pulled in a chariot by a pair of white horses bringing light to the night sky. My Selene and her Appaloosa mount have hair/mane made from milk fiber and wear silk dyed with logwood. The celestial horses' spots are avocado in an iron after bath.
