is a large
Lunar Crater on the
Far Side of the
Moon . It is located along the north-northeastern rim of the even larger
Birkoff Crater , with about one-third of Stebbins laid across the interior pf Birkhoff. To the north of Stebbins is the smaller
Hippocrates Crater , and to the west is
Sommerfeld Crater .
This is a worn and eroded crater with smaller impacts along the rim edge and the interior. The most notable of these is a small crater across the northwestern rim. The interior floor is relatively flat, with a central ridge offset to the northeast of the mid-point. To the southeast of this ridge is a small craterlet, and to the southwest is a small hill and the outer rim of a partly submerged craterlet.
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Stebbins crater.
