Asclepi E (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Asclepi

Named after Giuseppe Maria Asclepi - Italian astronomer (1706-1776).

Asclepi is a heavily worn lunar crater that lies in the rugged southern highlands. The outer rim has been worn down and rounded by many millions of years of subsequent impacts, so that it is now nearly level with the surrounding terrain. As a result, the crater is now little more than a depression in the surface. The interior is nearly flat and featureless. (wikipedia entry)
