Description

Lunar Crater:s Janssen Fabricius / Moon 91.3(-) / 20230110 0339cet

Getting in close to the moon …

Janssen is an ancient impact crater located in the highland region near the southeastern lunarlimb. The entire structure has been heavily worn and is marked by many lesser crater impacts. The outer wall is breached in multiple locations, but the outline of the crater rim can still be observed. The wall forms a distinctive hexagonal shape upon the rugged lunar surface, with a slight curvature at the vertices.

The crater is named after French astronomer Pierre Jules César Janssen.

The prominent crater Fabricius lies entirely within the outer wall, in the northeast quadrant of the floor. A number of other lesser, but still notable craters mark the crater floor
