Andel (Crater)
Andĕl is the Czech word for 'Angel'. Andĕl is a lunar crater that lies in the rugged central highlands of the Moon. Nearby craters of note include Abulfeda crater to the south-southeast and Descartes crater to the east-southeast. About 85 kilometers to the east-northeast of the outer rim is the landing site of the Apollo 16 mission. The eroded outer rim of Andĕl has been worn and distorted into a polygonal shape, and is nearly non-existent to the south where 'Andĕl G' intersects the perimeter. The interior floor is nearly flat, with some irregularities to the southeast. There is a tiny craterlet located just to the southeast of the mid-point, but no central peak of any significance. Satellite craters By convention these features are identified on Lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Andĕl crater. | idth="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Latitude | width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Longitude | width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Diameter | | lign="center"|A | align="center"|10.8° S | align="center"|11.3° E | align="center"|14 km | | lign="center"|C | align="center"|9.0° S | align="center"|11.2° E | align="center"|3 km | | lign="center"|D | align="center"|10.8° S | align="center"|11.7° E | align="center"|6 km | | lign="center"|E | align="center"|12.0° S | align="center"|12.2° E | align="center"|6 km | | lign="center"|F | align="center"|8.3° S | align="center"|11.1° E | align="center"|9 km | | lign="center"|G | align="center"|11.0° S | align="center"|12.4° E | align="center"|4 km | | lign="center"|H | align="center"|6.7° S | align="center"|11.3° E | align="center"|6 km | | lign="center"|J | align="center"|7.5° S | align="center"|11.4° E | align="center"|6 km | | lign="center"|K | align="center"|5.8° S | align="center"|11.6° E | align="center"|4 km | | lign="center"|M | align="center"|9.7° S | align="center"|11.1° E | align="center"|27 km | | lign="center"|N | align="center"|10.2° S | align="center"|11.4° E | align="center"|8 km | | lign="center"|P | align="center"|11.6° S | align="center"|12.3° E | align="center"|19 km | | lign="center"|S | align="center"|11.4° S | align="center"|12.7° E | align="center"|4 km | | lign="center"|T | align="center"|11.2° S | align="center"|13.3° E | align="center"|4 km | | lign="center"|W | align="center"|12.4° S | align="center"|12.3° E | align="center"|12 km |
