Agrippa D (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Agrippa

Named after Agrippa - Greek astronomer (unkn-fl. A.D. 92).

Agrippa is located to the north of the crater Godin, and the irregular Tempel lies just to the east. To the north and northeast, the rille designated Rima Ariadaeus follows a course to the east-southeast, reaching the western edge of Mare Tranquillitatis. The rim has an unusual shape, resembling the form of a shield with a rounded southern rim and a more angular northern half. (wikipedia entry)
