Bečvář (crater)

Bečvář (Czech pronunciation: [ˈbɛtʃvaːr̝̊]) is a lunar impact crater that is located near the equator on the far side of the Moon.

This is a worn, eroded crater system with a few tiny craterlets lying across the floor and rim.

A double-crater formation occupies the southwestern rim, with Bečvář Q forming the northwestern member of this pair.

[2] Bečvář lies at the center of an unnamed, highly subdued, 200-km-diameter crater which was originally discovered during the Apollo 16 mission and reported by Farouk El-Baz.

[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 Bečvář.
