Shternberg is an eroded lunar impact crater on the Moon's far side.

This crater has been heavily worn and eroded by subsequent impacts.

A small crater overlies the northern rim and there is a short arc of smaller craters running south of this impact across the interior floor of Shternberg.

The interior floor is pock-marked by a number of small craterlets.

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