Vitruvius (Crater)

Vetruvius is a small lunar crater that lies on the northern edge of the Mare Tranquillitatis. To the east is Gardner crater, and to the northeast is Fabbroni crater. To the north-northwest is the Mons Vitruvius mountain, and beyond is the valley that served as the landing site of the Apollo 17 mission. The floor of Vitruvius crater has been flooded by lava. A small craterlet lies on 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 Vitruvius crater.
