Wolf (crater)

25.74

Wolf is an impact crater in the southwest of the moon in front of the plane of the Mare Nubium, southeast of the crater Bullialdus and south-west of Nicollet.

The irregularly shaped crater is embedded into a group of surveys within the Mare level and possibly originated by the superposition of several smaller strikes.

The crater was officially named by the IAU in 1935 by the German astronomer Max Wolf.
