Sklodowska (lunar crater)

Sklodowska (Skłodowska) is a large lunar impact crater that is located on the far side of the Moon.

It lies just past the southeastern limb, and can sometimes be viewed from Earth under favorable conditions of libration and illumination.

The edge forms a rough circle, but it is irregular with a number of small outward bulges, particularly to the south and southwest.

There is a prominent central peak formation at the crater midpoint, which consists of two ridges separated by a narrow valley.

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