Erro D (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Erro

Named after Luis Enrique Erro - Mexican astronomer (1897-1955).

Erro is a lunar crater that lies beyond the eastern limb , on the far side as seen from the Earth. It lies along the eastern fringes of the uneven plain that joins Mare Marginis to the northwest with Mare Smythii to the west-southwest. This part of the surface is sometimes brought into sight of observers on the Earth due to libration. However even at such times not much detail can be seen, as the surface is viewed from the edge.
