Comments	The terminator passed east of Anaximenes, through J Herschel, East of the Jura Mountains, East of Kepler, Letronne and Schiller. Rays were becoming visible around Copernicus and through Mare Serenitatis. Sinus Iridum and the border on Mare Imbrium toward Plato look very much like the top of a Valentines heart.
