Aristoteles (crater)

Aristoteles is a lunar impact crater that lies near the southern edge of the Mare Frigoris and to the east of the Montes Alpes mountain range.

[1] To the immediate south of Aristoteles lies the slightly smaller crater Eudoxus, and these two form a distinctive pair for a telescope observer.

Observers have noted the crater wall of Aristoteles is slightly distorted into a rounded hexagon shape.

The outer ramparts display a generally radial structure of hillocks through the extensive blanket of ejecta.

[3] By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Aristoteles.
