[The Warthog]

This is a good approach, particularly with an audience that knows nothing about science. You might want to try, though, rolling back a couple of pages, and talking about the entire moon, and doing the man in the moon, the woman and the rabbit in the moon, and talking about the general features (Maria and highlands) that make up those features, then zeroing in on specific sites. Then you can bring them closer and closer, revealing more an more detail as you progress.

Just a thought...

[spudicus]

The man, women and rabbit? Are you pulling my leg WH??? :shock:

[The Warthog]

NO. The man in the moon is well-known. The woman is a face in profile, in the middle of the lunar surface, and the rabbit stretches his long ears and body along the top. I'll have to draw you a picture, but these features are recognizable.

[spudicus]

Just had a look online - Now that has really cracked me up!!!

I bet it's made of cheese too

I bet it's made of cheese too

Well, duh! It's obviously made of an unripe Brie, though, not the Swiss cheese depicted incorrectly by Google earlier this year.
