eponym=Dmitri MaksutovDmitri D. Maksutov Maksutov is a Moonlunar crater on the Far side (Moon)far side of the Moon. It is located just to the south-southwest of the larger Oppenheimer (crater)Oppenheimer walled plain. To the southwest lies the Nishina (crater)Nishina crater, and to the west-northwest is the merged Davisson (crater)Davisson-Leibnitz (crater)Leibnitz crater formations.This crater has a reasonably well-defined outer rim that has not been significantly degraded through impact erosion. The more notable feature of this crater, however, is the flooded interior floor. This nearly level interior surface has the lower albedo that is characteristic of a basaltic-lava-covered floor. The inner wall of the rim varies in width, with the narrowest portion lying in the southeast, while wider sections lie along the remaining edges, particularly to the northeast and northwest.
Satellite craters - By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Maksutov crater. Category:Craters on the Moon
