Freundlich (crater)

Freundlich is a lunar impact crater that is located on the far side of the Moon.

It lies midway between the craters Trumpler to the north-northwest and the irregular Buys-Ballot to the south-southeast.

This crater has a circular rim that is more heavily eroded at the northern and southern ends.

The crater was named after Erwin Freundlich by the IAU in 1970.

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