Boscovich (Crater)Boscovich is a lunar crater that has been almost completely eroded away by subsequent impacts. It is located to the west-northwest of the Julius Caesar, and to the south-southeast of the prominent Manilius crater. The crater floor is has a low albedo, and the dark hue makes it relatively easy to recognize. The surface is crossed by the rille system designated Rimae Boscovich that extend for a diameter of 40 kilometers. 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 Boscovich crater. | idth="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Latitude | width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Longitude | width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Diameter | | lign="center"|A | align="center"|9.5° N | align="center"|12.6° E | align="center"|6 km | | lign="center"|B | align="center"|9.8° N | align="center"|9.2° E | align="center"|5 km | | lign="center"|C | align="center"|8.5° N | align="center"|12.0° E | align="center"|3 km | | lign="center"|D | align="center"|9.0° N | align="center"|12.2° E | align="center"|5 km | | lign="center"|E | align="center"|9.0° N | align="center"|12.7° E | align="center"|21 km | | lign="center"|F | align="center"|10.6° N | align="center"|11.4° E | align="center"|5 km | | lign="center"|P | align="center"|11.5° N | align="center"|10.3° E | align="center"|67 km |
