Oceanus Procellarum (Latin Ōceanus procellārum, the "Ocean of Storms") is a vast lunar mare on the western edge of the near side of the Moon. It is the only one of the lunar maria to be called an "Oceanus" (ocean), due to its size: Oceanus Procellarum is the largest of the maria, stretching more than 2,500 km (1,600 mi) across its north-south axis and covering roughly 4,000,000 km² (1,500,000 sq mi), accounting for 10.5% of the total lunar surface area.
