Campbell (lunar crater)

Campbell is a large lunar impact crater that is located in the northern hemisphere on the far side of the Moon.

If Campbell were located on the near side of the Moon as seen from the Earth, it would form one of the largest visible craters, being slightly larger than Schickard.

It is bordered by several craters of note, with Wiener to the southwest, Von Neumann just to the south, Ley overlying the southeast rim, and Pawsey to the west.

This formation has been heavily worn and eroded by a history of impacts, leaving a circular rim that is an irregular ring of ridges and peaks.

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