Maurolycus (Crater)Maurolycus is one of the more prominent lunar craters in the southern highland region of the Moon that is covered in overlapping crater impacts. It is joined at the southeast rim by the smaller Barocius crater. Due west lie the overlapping pair of Stöfler and Faraday craters. To the northeast is the faint Buch crater, and further to the north lies Gemma Frisius. The outer wall of Maurolycus are tall, wide, and terraced; most notably in the eastern part. To the southeast the rim is lower and the crater is joined to what has the appearance of an overlain crater rim. The crater 'Maurolycius F' lies across the northwest rim, and that part of the crater floor is more rugged than the remainder. The other sections of the floor are relatively smooth, with a complex of central peaks and a pair of craterlets. The small crater 'Maurolycus A' is biting into the southern part of the rim. 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 Maurolycus crater. | idth="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Latitude | width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Longitude | width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Diameter | | lign="center"|A | align="center"|43.5° S | align="center"|14.2° E | align="center"|15 km | | lign="center"|B | align="center"|40.3° S | align="center"|11.7° E | align="center"|12 km | | lign="center"|C | align="center"|38.6° S | align="center"|10.8° E | align="center"|9 km | | lign="center"|D | align="center"|39.0° S | align="center"|13.2° E | align="center"|45 km | | lign="center"|E | align="center"|38.4° S | align="center"|9.8° E | align="center"|6 km | | lign="center"|F | align="center"|40.6° S | align="center"|12.2° E | align="center"|25 km | | lign="center"|G | align="center"|44.4° S | align="center"|11.5° E | align="center"|7 km | | lign="center"|H | align="center"|38.2° S | align="center"|10.4° E | align="center"|7 km | | lign="center"|J | align="center"|42.5° S | align="center"|14.0° E | align="center"|9 km | | lign="center"|K | align="center"|40.0° S | align="center"|12.6° E | align="center"|8 km | | lign="center"|L | align="center"|42.1° S | align="center"|14.5° E | align="center"|6 km | | lign="center"|M | align="center"|41.9° S | align="center"|12.6° E | align="center"|10 km | | lign="center"|N | align="center"|41.0° S | align="center"|14.1° E | align="center"|7 km | | lign="center"|P | align="center"|38.1° S | align="center"|12.8° E | align="center"|4 km | | lign="center"|R | align="center"|40.7° S | align="center"|16.2° E | align="center"|5 km | | lign="center"|S | align="center"|42.0° S | align="center"|17.1° E | align="center"|7 km | | lign="center"|T | align="center"|41.3° S | align="center"|11.4° E | align="center"|10 km | | lign="center"|W | align="center"|42.7° S | align="center"|15.2° E | align="center"|4 km |
