Satellite Feature of Parrot

Named after Johann Jacob Friedrich Wilhelm Parrot - Russian doctor, physicist (1792-1840).

Parrot is the remains of a lunar crater that has been almost completely worn away. It is attached to the southern rim of the crater Albategnius, and is located among the rugged highlands among the south-central part of the visible Moon. To the east is the small crater Vogel, and in the southeast is Arzachel. Little remains of the southwestern rim , and the other sections of the wall have been worn and smoothed by impact erosion.
