Cavendish (Crater)Cavendish is a lunar crater that is located in the southwest part of the Moon, to the southwest of the larger Mersenius crater. It lies between the smaller craters Henry to the west-northwest and De Gasparis to the east-southeast. The rim of Cavendish is heavily worn and the crater 'Cavendish E' lies across the southwest rim. The smaller 'Cavendish A' is intruding into the northeast rim. On the flood are a pair of low-rimmed craters that are joined at the rims and span most of the central Cavendish crater floor from east to west. A rille from the Rimae de Gasparis reaches the eastern rim of Cavendish. 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 Cavendish crater. | idth="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Latitude | width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Longitude | width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Diameter | | lign="center"|A | align="center"|24.0° S | align="center"|52.7° W | align="center"|10 km | | lign="center"|B | align="center"|23.2° S | align="center"|55.1° W | align="center"|10 km | | lign="center"|E | align="center"|25.4° S | align="center"|54.2° W | align="center"|24 km | | lign="center"|F | align="center"|26.1° S | align="center"|54.0° W | align="center"|18 km | | lign="center"|L | align="center"|21.7° S | align="center"|53.6° W | align="center"|5 km | | lign="center"|M | align="center"|22.0° S | align="center"|53.8° W | align="center"|6 km | | lign="center"|N | align="center"|22.1° S | align="center"|54.3° W | align="center"|4 km | | lign="center"|P | align="center"|24.2° S | align="center"|51.6° W | align="center"|4 km | | lign="center"|S | align="center"|23.8° S | align="center"|52.4° W | align="center"|5 km | | lign="center"|T | align="center"|24.8° S | align="center"|55.2° W | align="center"|4 km |
