Blanchinus (Crater)Blanchinus is a lunar crater that is situated in the rugged south-central highlands of the Moon. Adjacent to the south of Blanchinus is Werner crater, and La Caille is attached to the northwest rim. West of the crater is the prominent Purbach crater formation. The outer rim of Blanchinus has been significantly degraded by subsequent impacts, leaving an irregular, notched exterior ring of rugged hills and ridges. The inner floor, in contrast, is nearly flat and free of significant impacts. Only a few tiny craterlets mark the interior surface, with 'Blanchinus M' located near the mid-point and the remainder lie near the southwest rim. 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 Blanchinus crater. | idth="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Latitude | width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Longitude | width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Diameter | | lign="center"|B | align="center"|25.2° S | align="center"|1.6° E | align="center"|8 km | | lign="center"|D | align="center"|25.0° S | align="center"|4.2° E | align="center"|7 km | | lign="center"|K | align="center"|24.8° S | align="center"|5.1° E | align="center"|9 km | | lign="center"|M | align="center"|25.2° S | align="center"|2.6° E | align="center"|5 km |
