Censorinus is a 3.8 km lunar impact crater located on a rise to the southeast of the Mare Tranquillitatis.

Bright streaks radiate away radially from the crater, and contrast with the darker lunar mare.

This formation has a sharp-edged, raised rim and a symmetrical, cup-shaped interior.

Close-up photographs of this crater by Lunar Orbiter 5 show many large blocks lying along the sloping outer rampart.

[2][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 Censorinus.
