Archytas L (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Archytas

Named after Archytas - Greek mathematician (428-347 B.C. ?).

Archytas is a lunar impact crater that protrudes into the northern edge of Mare Frigoris. To the northwest is the comparably sized crater Timaeus, and the smaller Protagoras lies in the opposite direction to the southeast. Further to the southwest, beyond the opposite edge of the mare, is the dark-floored crater Plato. The rim is sharp-edged and shows little appearance of erosion due to subsequent impacts.
