Exploration of the Moon invention of the telescope, an increasing number of people began to recognise the Moon as a sphere, though many believed that it was "perfectly smooth". In 1609, Galileo Galilei drew one of the first telescopic drawings of the Moon in his book and noted that it was not smooth but had mountains and craters. Later in the 17th century, Giovanni Battista Riccioli and Francesco Maria Grimaldi drew a map of the Moon and gave many craters the names they still have today. On maps, the dark parts of the Moon's surface were called "maria" (singular "mare") or seas, and the
Solar eclipses on the Moon at 43.31°S) where the temperatures remains high. Some craters are slightly cooler but as warm as the surface and warmer than areas outside the mares (basins) such as Copernicus and Langrenus. On the Moon, when there is a partial eclipse, one example is when half of the Sun is blocked (north or south), a part of the Moon has a partial eclipse (north or south). In some partial eclipses when the center of the Earth's shadow misses the Moon, one example is one hemisphere has a partial eclipse and the other does not. In some eclipses when the center of
