Hohmann (crater)

Hohmann is a lunar impact crater that lies within the central basin of the Mare Orientale formation, on the farside of the Moon.

Due to its proximity to the western lunar limb, this area of the surface is occasionally visible during favorable librations.

The rim of this crater is circular and only marginally worn, with a pair of tiny impacts overlaying the southern edge.

Portions of the surroundings show evidence of ejecta deposits from Maunder to the north (as shown by a number of secondary impacts).

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