Manilius (Crater)Manilius is a lunar impact crater on the northeast edge of Mare Vaporum. It has a well-defined rim with a sloping inner surface that run directly down to the ring-shaped mound of scree along the base, and a small outer rampart. The small crater interior has a higher albedo than the surroundings, and it appears bright when the sun is overhead. Within the crater is a central peak formation near the mid-point. The crater also possesses a ray system that extends for a distance of over 300 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 Manilius crater. | idth="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Latitude | width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Longitude | width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Diameter | | lign="center"|B | align="center"|16.6° N | align="center"|7.3° E | align="center"|6 km | | lign="center"|C | align="center"|12.1° N | align="center"|10.4° E | align="center"|7 km | | lign="center"|D | align="center"|13.2° N | align="center"|7.0° E | align="center"|5 km | | lign="center"|E | align="center"|18.3° N | align="center"|6.4° E | align="center"|49 km | | lign="center"|G | align="center"|15.5° N | align="center"|9.7° E | align="center"|5 km | | lign="center"|H | align="center"|17.8° N | align="center"|8.6° E | align="center"|3 km | | lign="center"|K | align="center"|11.9° N | align="center"|11.2° E | align="center"|3 km | | lign="center"|T | align="center"|13.4° N | align="center"|10.6° E | align="center"|4 km | | lign="center"|U | align="center"|13.8° N | align="center"|10.8° E | align="center"|4 km | | lign="center"|W | align="center"|13.4° N | align="center"|12.9° E | align="center"|4 km | | lign="center"|X | align="center"|14.4° N | align="center"|13.4° E | align="center"|3 km | | lign="center"|Z | align="center"|16.4° N | align="center"|11.7° E | align="center"|3 km | The following craters have been renamed by the IAU.
