Theo [van Gogh] rushed to his brother’s side, finding him in good spirits but within hours Vincent’s health began to fail, suffering from an infection resulting from the wound. He died in the early hours of Tuesday, 29 July [1890].
Mare Crisium is just visible from Earth with the naked eye as a small dark spot on the edge of the Moon’s face.
