Jenkins (crater)

Jenkins is a lunar impact crater that lies along the equator of the Moon, near the eastern limb.

It is attached to the eastern rim of the slightly larger crater Schubert X, intruding somewhat into the interior.

The crater Nobili is likewise attached to the western rim of Schubert X and intrudes slightly into the interior on that side.

This formation was previously designated Schubert Z before being given its current name by the IAU in 1982.

The interior floor is relatively featureless, and is marked by a few tiny craters.
