is a
Lunar Impact Crater that is located to the southeast of the
Campbell Walled-plain . It lies in the northern
Hemisphere on the
Moon 's
Far Side , and can not be viewed directly from the
Earth . Just two crater diameters to the southwest of Golovin is the larger
Appleton Crater , and to the north is
Langevin Crater .
The nearly circular rim of Golovin is not markedly eroded, and is not overlaid by any impacts of note. There is a slight outward bulge to the northwest. The inner walls are relatively wide, and have slumped slightly near the top edge. There is a formation of central ridges at the mid-point of the interior. The interior floor is otherwise small and relatively level.
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 Golovin crater.
