  As of yet unnamed, according to an article linked within the article. [0] > It doesn't have a name, at least not yet. But in just a few days, if all goes well, it could become one of the most important places on the moon's surface. > That spot is a highland that rises between two craters dubbed Manzinus C and Simpelius N. On a grid of the moon's surface, it would fall at 70.9 degrees south latitude and 22.7 degrees east longitude. It's about 375 miles (600 kilometers) from the south pole.
