Nicolai (Crater)Nicholai is a lunar crater that is located in the southern hemisphere, in a region that is less disturbed by significant impacts than most of the highlands. The nearest craters of note are Spallanzani to the south, and the much larger Maurolycus and Barocius to the east. The outer wall of this crater is worn, with a number of tiny craterlets lying along the rim. The most notable of these is a tiny crater located across the northern rim. The satellite crater 'Nicholai B' is attached to the exterior of the southwest rim. The inner walls slope down relatively smoothly to the flat interior floor. The only markings on the inner surface is a tiny craterlet in the northern part of the crater. 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 Nicolai crater. | idth="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Latitude | width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Longitude | width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Diameter | | lign="center"|A | align="center"|42.4° S | align="center"|23.6° E | align="center"|13 km | | lign="center"|B | align="center"|43.2° S | align="center"|25.3° E | align="center"|13 km | | lign="center"|C | align="center"|44.0° S | align="center"|29.0° E | align="center"|25 km | | lign="center"|D | align="center"|41.7° S | align="center"|25.5° E | align="center"|6 km | | lign="center"|E | align="center"|40.6° S | align="center"|25.3° E | align="center"|13 km | | lign="center"|G | align="center"|42.8° S | align="center"|22.4° E | align="center"|11 km | | lign="center"|H | align="center"|43.5° S | align="center"|26.8° E | align="center"|17 km | | lign="center"|J | align="center"|40.5° S | align="center"|22.0° E | align="center"|8 km | | lign="center"|K | align="center"|42.9° S | align="center"|28.2° E | align="center"|25 km | | lign="center"|L | align="center"|44.1° S | align="center"|25.6° E | align="center"|13 km | | lign="center"|M | align="center"|42.4° S | align="center"|29.0° E | align="center"|11 km | | lign="center"|P | align="center"|43.1° S | align="center"|29.7° E | align="center"|30 km | | lign="center"|Q | align="center"|42.3° S | align="center"|30.1° E | align="center"|26 km | | lign="center"|R | align="center"|41.5° S | align="center"|25.9° E | align="center"|6 km | | lign="center"|Z | align="center"|40.9° S | align="center"|21.5° E | align="center"|24 km |
