Aryabhata, named after Indian astronomer Aryabhata,[1] is the remnant of a lunar impact crater located in the eastern Mare Tranquillitatis.

The crater has been almost submerged by lava-flow, and now only an arc-shaped ridge formed from the eastern half of the rim remains above the lunar mare.

This crater was previously identified as Maskelyne E before being named by the IAU in 1979.

Maskelyne itself is to the southwest.
