lunar crater data latitude 49.5 N or S N longitude 160.1 E or W E diameter 69 km depth Unknown colong 200 eponym Earl Charles Slipher Earl C. Slipher br Vesto Melvin Slipher Vesto M. Slipher Slipher is a Moon lunar impact crater that is located in the northern latitudes on the Far side Moon far side of the Moon . The crater overlies the southwestern outer rim of the much larger walled plain D Alembert crater D Alembert , and it occupies a portion of the interior floor of D Alembert. To the south southeast is the crater Langevin crater Langevin . Because it overlies D Alembert, Slipher is a younger formation and it has undergone much less erosion. The rim is circular but has a somewhat irregular edge. The rim is jumbled and irregular where it intersects D Alembert. Overlapping the western rim and inner walls of Slipher is the smaller Slipher S, a fresh feature with a sharp edged outer rim. The interior floor of Slipher is somewhat uneven except in the northeast, and there is a cluster of low central ridges near the mid point. 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 Slipher. class wikitable width 25 style background eeeeee Slipher width 25 style background eeeeee Latitude width 25 style background eeeeee Longitude width 25 style background eeeeee Diameter align center S align center 49.2 N align center 158.7 E align center 26 km References Lunar crater references Category Impact craters on the Moon Moon crater stub and yes ... more details

- D'Alembert (crater)
lunar crater data latitude 50.8 N or S N longitude 163.9 E or W E diameter 248 km depth Unknown colong 201 eponym Jean le Rond d Alembert Jean d Alembert D Alembert is a large Moon lunar impact crater located in the northern hemisphere on the Far side Moon far side of the Moon , to the northeast of the somewhat smaller walled plain Campbell lunar crater Campbell . Astride the southwest rim of D Alembert is Slipher lunar crater Slipher . To the north is the crater Yamamoto crater Yamamoto , and to the south southwest lies Langevin crater Langevin . This walled plain has the same diameter as Clavius crater Clavius on the near side, making it one of the largest such formations on the Moon. As with many lunar walled plains of comparable dimensions, the outer rim of this formation has been worn and battered by subsequent impacts. Besides Slipher, the most notable of these craters is D Alembert Z intruding into the northern rim. There is also a small crater on the northwest inner wall that has a wide cleft in its eastern side, and a smaller crater along the southeastern inner wall. As eroded as the rim may be, its form can still be readily discerned as a roughly circular ridge line in the lunar terrain. The interior floor of D Alembert is a relatively level surface, at least in comparison with the rough terrain that surrounds the crater rim. It is marked with a number of small crater impacts, the largest being D Alembert G and D Alembert E toward the eastern rim. In the southwest, the floor is more irregular due to the outer wikt rampart rampart and layers of ejecta from Slipher. A pair of shallow clefts in the floor surface radiate away from this crater, beginning near the mid point of D Alembert and reaching half way toward the inner wall. 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 D Alembert. class wikitable width 25 style background eeeeee D Alembert width 25 ... more details
