Cassini (lunar crater)

56.39

Cassini is a lunar impact crater on the northern front at the eastern edge of the Mare Imbrium, between Montes Alpes in the north with the mountain promontory projections Agassiz and promontory Deville and the massif of the Montes Caucasus in the south. The interior is flooded by lava and the wall is sunken, but still present throughout.

The crater was officially named by the IAU in 1935 by the French astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini and Jacques Cassini.
