Αγία Τριάδα Γραμματικού
Είναι το παλαιότερο κτίσμα που βρέθηκε στην περιοχή και χρονολογείται γύρω στον 13ο -14ο αιώνα. Σύμφωνα με πληροφορίες στον προαύλιο χώρο υπήρχε μοναστήρι ενώ αργότερα χρησιμοποιήθηκε ως άσυλο ανιάτων λόγω τη φυσικής δομής της περιοχής



Holy Trinity Grammatiko
It's the oldest building found in the area dates back to the 13th-14th century. According to information in the courtyard there was a monastery and later used as a Hospice due to the physical structure of the region

Van den Bergh 152, also known as Cederblad 201, is a blue reflection nebula at top left in the image. The large dark nebula stretching through the frame is Barnard 175, a Bok Globule. This complex, also called Wolf's Cave, is located about 1,400 light years away in the direction of the constellation of Cepheus.

Full of very faint dust, this area is part of a large molecular cloud named the Cepheus Flare by Edwin Hubble. The opaque dust blocks most of the starlight behind it, but blue light from a young star is scattered and reflected off some of the particles to illuminate the reflection part of the nebula. Some of the faint dust may be glowing in a dim red color from luminescence, forming an Extended Red Emission nebula (ERE).

"Sea of Clouds" redirects here. It is not to be confused with the Chinese poetic term for the surroundings of a mountain's summit, most-notably at Huangshan.
Mare Nubium ("sea of clouds") is a lunar mare in the Nubium basin on the Moon's near side. The mare is located just to the southeast of Oceanus Procellarum.

Tycho is a prominent lunar impact crater located in the southern lunar highlands, named after the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe (1546–1601).^[1] To the south is the crater Street; to the east is Pictet, and to the north-northeast is Sasserides. The surface around Tycho is replete with craters of various sizes, many overlapping still older craters. Some of the smaller craters are secondary craters formed from larger chunks of ejecta from Tycho.

Copernicus is a lunar impact crater named after the astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, located in eastern Oceanus Procellarum .It typifies craters that formed during the Copernican period in that it has a prominent ray system.

Copernicus is visible using binoculars, and is located slightly northwest of the center of the Moon's Earth-facing hemisphere. South of the crater is the Mare Insularum, and to the south-south west is the crater Reinhold. North of Copernicus are the Montes Carpatus, which lie at the south edge of Mare Imbrium. West of Copernicus is a group of dispersed lunar hills. Due to its relative youth, the crater has remained in a relatively pristine shape since it formed
