Glaisher (crater)

Glaisher is a lunar impact crater that is located in the region of terrain that forms the southwest border of Mare Crisium.

It is surrounded by a ring of satellite craters of various dimensions, the larger companions generally being arranged to the south of Glaisher.

This crater is circular, with a bowl-shaped interior and a small floor at the midpoint.

The crater has not been significantly worn by subsequent impacts.

[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 Glaisher.
