Capella R (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Capella

Named after Martianus Capella - Roman astronomer (c. A.D. 400-unkn).

Capella is a lunar crater 49 km in diameter that lies to the north of the Mare Nectaris, in a rugged region with many small impact craters. It intrudes slightly into the eastern rim of the crater Isidorus, a feature only slightly smaller in diameter. The wall is low but thick and irregular, with a large promontory intruding on the south-eastern side. The crater is crossed by a deep rift, the Vallis Capella, which passes directly through Capella from the north rim through the southeast side of the wall, and extends out both sides for a combined distance of 110 kilometers.
