Neander (crater)
Neander is a lunar impact crater that is located to the south of Mare Nectaris, in the southeastern part of the Moon's near side. To the west-northwest lies the prominent Piccolomini crater. The northwestern extension of the Vallis Rheita lunar valley passes about a crater diameter to the west of this formation. The rim of Neander is roughly circular and somewhat sharp-edged, with some ledges formed along the inner sides. The circular, cup-shaped 'Neander A' lies along the northwestern inner wall. The interior floor is uneven, with a formation of central peaks located at the mid-point.
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 Neander
crater.
