is a
Lunar Crater that is located in the rugged southeast part of the
Moon , to the south-southwest of the prominent
Petavius Walled-plain . The
Palitzsch Crater and ''
Vallis Palitzsch '' is attached to the northeast rim of Hase.
Like nearly all craters on the Moon, it is probably the result of the impact of a
Meteoroid rather than being a
Volcano crater.
The rim of this crater has been damaged and eroded by a long history of subsequent impacts. The most prominent of these is 'Hase D', a comparably-sized crater that has overlaid the southern rim — leaving only a low rim between the two formations. 'Hase A' is a small crater that lies in the interior of Hase, near the irregular northern rim. The remainder of the floor is rough and irregular.
To the southeast of 'Hase D' is a linear
Rille designated ''Rima Hase''. This is a wide, shallow formation that follows a line to the southeast.
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 Hase crater.
