Information AboutAdams (lunar Crater) |
Adams is a Lunar Impact Crater that is located in the rugged southeastern section of the Moon , near the lunar limb. It lies just to the southwest of the Legendre Crater . To the northwest are the Hase and Petavius Craters , and to the southwest is the Furnerius Crater . The rim of Adams is generally circular in form, but somewhat worn by small impact craters. There is a slight notched protrusion at the southern end of the wall. The floor is undistinguished, with no significant protrusions, and only minor craterlets. To the southwest of the Adams crater is a system of Rille s designated the ''Rimae Hase''. The longest of these rilles follows a course to the southeast. SATELLITE CRATERS 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 Adams crater. REFERENCES |
