A single glance at the moon with the naked eye shows us that it is divided into extremely bright and comparatively dark, regions. The latter are called scas, though it is well known that they do not contain water. If we knew no more about the moon than we can see through the naked eye, we might regard them as the beds of ancient oceans. and the lunar problem would probably never have arisen.
