Weigel D (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Weigel

Named after Erhard Weigel - German mathematician (1625-1699).

Weigel is a small lunar crater that is located in the southwestern part. It lies to the west-southwest of the slightly larger crater Rost, and due south of the elongated Schiller. To the west is Segner. The rim of this crater is slightly eroded, with a small crater across the northern edge and the satellite crater Weigel A and another smaller craterlet intruding slightly into the eastern face.
