Geological Chronicle
Sinus Amoris extends northward from the northeast end of Mare Tranquillitatis, centered at selenographic coordinates 19.9° N, 37.3° E. Deriving its name from the Latin for "Bay of Love," the bay spans a diameter of 189.1 kilometers. The jumbled Montes Taurus peaks lie to the north, while the central interior contains low ridges within an otherwise relatively featureless surface.
Along the western side of Sinus Amoris lie the flooded crater Maraldi and Mons Maraldi, while the craters Carmichael and Hill border the east side. Near the southern outlet where the bay opens into Mare Tranquillitatis lies the crater Theophrastus.
At the southern egress where the bay joins the mare lies Mons Esam, a minor rise that lies among several small lunar domes.
