Schrödinger (crater)

This forms a circular range of rugged mountains that surrounds the center, with the exception of a wide gap in the south.

Another similar valley designated Vallis Planck radiates to the north, beginning near the crater Grotrian at the periphery of the Schrödinger ejecta, and extending past Fechner.

The Schrödinger impact basin is one of a few locations on the Moon that show evidence of geologically recent volcanic activity.

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

Schrödinger crater is the location of the Moon Nazi base, Schwarze Sonne, in the Finnish film Iron Sky.

Close up of Schrödinger G, the low- albedo area within Schrödinger, which is interpreted as a volcanic vent, similar to those in Alphonsus on the near side.
Schrödinger at center. Vallis Planck extends from the crater to the upper right of center, and Vallis Schrödinger is to the upper left of center, going through Sikorsky crater. The south pole itself is in lower left, in shadow.
