Satellite Feature of Nobel

Named after Alfred Bernhard Nobel - Swedish inventor (1833-1896).

Nobel is a crater that lies on the far side. It is located in the northern edge of the vast skirt of ejecta surrounding the Mare Orientale impact basin. Less than three crater diameters to the south is the larger crater Elvey, and to the west-southwest is the smaller Pease. This is a circular, bowl-shaped crater with a worn outer rim.
