Condorcet (Crater)Condorcet is a lunar crater that is located in the eastern part of the Moon's near side, to the southeast of the Mare Crisium. To the northeast of Condorcet are the Hansen and Alhazen craters. The outer rim of Condorcet crater is eroded, with a low saddle point along the northern wall and the satellite crater 'Condorcet Y' lays across the northwestern rim. The interior floor has been resurfaced by lava, leaving a level, nearly featureless surface that is marked only by a few tiny craterlets. The floor has a large dark patch in the western half, but the remainder is approximately the same albedo as the surrounding terrain. 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 Condorcet crater. | idth="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Latitude | width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Longitude | width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Diameter | | lign="center"|A | align="center"|11.5° N | align="center"|67.3° E | align="center"|14 km | | lign="center"|D | align="center"|9.8° N | align="center"|68.5° E | align="center"|22 km | | lign="center"|E | align="center"|11.3° N | align="center"|68.1° E | align="center"|6 km | | lign="center"|F | align="center"|8.2° N | align="center"|73.1° E | align="center"|37 km | | lign="center"|G | align="center"|10.7° N | align="center"|68.0° E | align="center"|7 km | | lign="center"|H | align="center"|12.4° N | align="center"|65.0° E | align="center"|23 km | | lign="center"|J | align="center"|13.1° N | align="center"|65.0° E | align="center"|16 km | | lign="center"|L | align="center"|10.1° N | align="center"|73.7° E | align="center"|12 km | | lign="center"|M | align="center"|9.0° N | align="center"|73.1° E | align="center"|9 km | | lign="center"|N | align="center"|9.0° N | align="center"|72.9° E | align="center"|4 km | | lign="center"|P | align="center"|8.7° N | align="center"|70.4° E | align="center"|46 km | | lign="center"|Q | align="center"|11.4° N | align="center"|73.3° E | align="center"|31 km | | lign="center"|R | align="center"|11.7° N | align="center"|74.8° E | align="center"|15 km | | lign="center"|S | align="center"|10.6° N | align="center"|75.6° E | align="center"|9 km | | lign="center"|T | align="center"|11.8° N | align="center"|65.8° E | align="center"|15 km | | lign="center"|TA | align="center"|12.2° N | align="center"|65.7° E | align="center"|14 km | | lign="center"|U | align="center"|10.0° N | align="center"|75.4° E | align="center"|9 km | | lign="center"|W | align="center"|13.9° N | align="center"|66.9° E | align="center"|33 km | | lign="center"|X | align="center"|10.1° N | align="center"|69.9° E | align="center"|8 km | | lign="center"|Y | align="center"|12.8° N | align="center"|68.9° E | align="center"|13 km | The following craters have been renamed by the IAU.
