Kunowsky (lunar crater)

18:27

Kunowsky is an impact crater on the moon western front at the edge of Mare Insularum. It is located southeast of the crater Kepler and southwest of Copernicus.

The crater interior is flooded by lavas of the surrounding Mare, so that a shallow crater level is surrounded by a relatively low, hardly eroded edge.

The crater was officially named by the IAU in 1935 by the German astronomer Carl Friedrich Georg Kunowski.
