Hevelius (crater)

116.64

Hevelius is an impact crater on the western edge of the lunar front side, on the western edge of Oceanus Procellarum, to the south of the crater Cavalerius. The rim of Hevelius is heavily eroded and partially leveled in the north and south, that interior is traversed by a system of breaking grooves, the Rimae Hevelius.

The crater was officially named by the IAU in 1935 by the astronomer Johannes Hevelius.
