Langrenus H (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Langrenus

Named after Langren, Michel Florent van Langrenus - Belgian selenographer, engineer (c. 1600-1675).

Langrenus is a prominent impact crater located near the eastern lunar limb. The feature is circular in shape, but appears oblong due to foreshortening. It lies on the eastern shore of the Mare Fecunditatis. To the south is the overlapping crater pair Vendelinus and the smaller Lamé. (wikipedia entry)
