Alpetragius C (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Alpetragius

Named after Al-Bitrūjī Al-Ishbīlī, Abū Ishāq Alpetragius - Spanish astronomer (unkn-c. 1100).

Alpetragius is a lunar impact crater located on the eastern edge of Mare Nubium, to the southwest of the much larger crater Alphonsus. In the southeast is the prominent crater Arzachel, and to the west lies the flooded Lassell. The most notable feature of this crater is the disproportionately large central peak, which forms a rounded rise that occupies almost the entire crater floor—one-third the crater diameter—and rises to a height of 2.0 km. There is evidence that this peak has been enlarged through volcanic eruptions, and there appears to be an eroded vent at its summit. (wikipedia entry)
