Burckhardt (Crater)Burckhardt is a lunar impact crater that is located in the northeast part of the Moon. It lies between Geminus crater just to the north and Cleomedes crater to the south. The Burckhardt crater lies across two slightly smaller craters on opposite sides, producing a triple-crater formation. The 'Burckhardt E' is overlaid by the southwest quadrant of Burckhardt, while 'Burckhardt F' is overlaid by the northwest quadrant. The rim of Burckhardt is generally circular but somewhat irregular in form. There is a central rise near the mid-point of the crater floor. 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 Burckhardt crater. | idth="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Latitude | width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Longitude | width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Diameter | | lign="center"|A | align="center"|30.5° N | align="center"|58.8° E | align="center"|28 km | | lign="center"|B | align="center"|29.9° N | align="center"|60.1° E | align="center"|11 km | | lign="center"|C | align="center"|31.6° N | align="center"|59.0° E | align="center"|6 km | | lign="center"|E | align="center"|30.6° N | align="center"|55.7° E | align="center"|39 km | | lign="center"|F | align="center"|31.4° N | align="center"|57.2° E | align="center"|43 km | | lign="center"|G | align="center"|32.1° N | align="center"|57.5° E | align="center"|7 km |
