Maraldi (lunar crater)

39.62

Maraldi is a heavily eroded impact crater on the western shore of the Sinus Amoris in the northeastern quadrant of the Moon. To the northwest lies the excavated crater Littrow and in west- southwesterly direction of the crater Vitruvius. Just looking north-east rises the dome of Mons Maraldi.

The outer edge of Maraldi is heavily worn and has deep cuts on. He looks more like a circular chain of peaks as a crater rim. The crater interior is flooded by basaltic lava, forming a flat surface with low albedo, which is scarred by a number of tiny craters. Located northwest of the center rises a low range of hills.
