Pytheas (crater)


Pytheas is a small Lunar impact crater located on the southern part of the Mare Imbrium, to the south of Lambert crater. It has a sharply-defined rim, a hummocky outer rampart, and a rough, hilly interior. The crater possesses a small ray system that extends for a radius of about 50 kilometers.

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 Pytheas
crater.
