Pythagorus is a prominent impact crater located near the
northwestern lunar limb. It lies just to the northwest of the
somewhat larger Babbage. The crater has an oval appearance due to
the oblique viewing angle. Only the western face of the interior can
be viewed from the Earth, the other side being permanently out of
sight. The well-preserved rim of Pythagoras has a wide terrace
system, and a slight rampart around the exterior. Although generally
circular, the crater outline has a hexagonal form. The floor is
flattened, but with an irregular, hilly surface. There is evidence
of landslips around the periphery. In the center is a sharp,
mountainous rise with a double peak that ascends 1.5 kilometers
above the crater floor. In this section of
the Moon, close to the northern margin of the visible disc, Sinus
Roris borders on Mare Frigoris. Refer to your Antonin Rukl atlas
of the Moon, page 31.
