Celsius is a small Lunar Crater that is located in the rugged terrain in the southern Hemisphere on the Moon 's near side. It lies less than one crater diameter to the south-southwest of Zagut Crater , and due north of Büsching Crater .

This is a heavily worn crater with a southwest rim that has been damaged by multiple small crater impacts. There is a valley-like gap in the northern rim that joins Celsius with 'Celsius A'. The interior floor of Celsius is almost featureless, except for a small craterlet in the northern half.
