Lacus Veris (Latin for "Lake of Spring") is a small lunar mare on the Moon. In selenographic coordinates, the mare centered at 16.5° S, 86.1° W and is approximately 396 km long. The mare extends along an irregular 90° arc from east to north that is centered on the Mare Orientale, covering an area of about 12,000 km.
Author Eric Burgess proposed this mare as the location of a future manned lunar base, citing a 1989 study performed at the
lies the Lacus Veris, both forming small lunar maria along the sides of the range.
This is a roughly circular, bowl-shaped crater that lies along the northeastern edge of the Montes Rook. Its interior walls slope down to a small floor at the midpoint. This crater was previously designated Kopff A before being given a name by the IAU. Kopff is located to the southwest along the eastern edge of the Mare Orientale.
