Reiner (Crater)Reiner is a lunar impact crater on the Oceanus Procellarum lunar mare, in the western part of the Moon. It has a nearly circular rim, but appears oval in shape due to foreshortening. The rim edge is well-defined and has not been eroded by impacts. In the mid-point of the irregular crater floor is a central peak. Outside the rim is a hummocky rampart that extends out across the mare for about half a crater diameter. To the west-northwest of the crater on the maria is the unusual Reiner Gamma formation, a fish-shaped surface marking of ray-like material with a high-albedo. 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 Reiner crater. | idth="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Latitude | width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Longitude | width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Diameter | | lign="center"|A | align="center"|5.2° N | align="center"|51.4° W | align="center"|10 km | | lign="center"|C | align="center"|3.5° N | align="center"|51.5° W | align="center"|7 km | | lign="center"|E | align="center"|1.9° N | align="center"|49.6° W | align="center"|4 km | | lign="center"|G | align="center"|3.3° N | align="center"|54.3° W | align="center"|3 km | | lign="center"|H | align="center"|9.1° N | align="center"|54.7° W | align="center"|8 km | | lign="center"|K | align="center"|8.1° N | align="center"|53.9° W | align="center"|3 km | | lign="center"|L | align="center"|8.0° N | align="center"|54.6° W | align="center"|6 km | | lign="center"|M | align="center"|8.6° N | align="center"|56.1° W | align="center"|3 km | | lign="center"|N | align="center"|5.4° N | align="center"|57.5° W | align="center"|4 km | | lign="center"|Q | align="center"|1.4° N | align="center"|50.9° W | align="center"|3 km | | lign="center"|R | align="center"|3.7° N | align="center"|55.5° W | align="center"|45 km | | lign="center"|S | align="center"|2.2° N | align="center"|50.7° W | align="center"|4 km | | lign="center"|T | align="center"|3.7° N | align="center"|52.2° W | align="center"|2 km | | lign="center"|U | align="center"|4.1° N | align="center"|52.5° W | align="center"|3 km |
