Boscovich (crater)

It is located west-northwest of the crater Julius Caesar, and south-southeast of the prominent Manilius.

The crater floor has a low albedo, and the dark hue makes it relatively easy to recognize.

The surface is crossed by the rille system designated Rimae Boscovich that extends for a diameter of 40 kilometres.

The crater is named after Croatian physicist Roger Joseph Boscovich.

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