Moon

The Moon is Earth's only known natural satellite,There are a number of near-Earth asteroids including 3753 Cruithne that are co-orbital with Earth: their orbits bring them close to Earth for periods of time but then alter in the long term . These are quasi-satellites and not true moons. For more...

Gadomski (crater)

Gadomski is a lunar crater on the far side of the Moon. It is located to the south of the much larger crater Fowler, and to the west of Klute.This crater, like many features on the Moon, has an eroded outer rim that has been modified by subsequent impacts...

. Klute is a heavily worn crater with multiple smaller craters along the outer rim. A crater occupies the northwestern interior floor and lies nested against the inner wall. This crater in turn is marked by a pair of smaller craters along its southern rim. The remainder of the floor is an uneven plain marked with several small, eroded craterlets. This crater was named after Dr Daniel Klute, a scientist who helped develop engines for the Saturn V rocket before he died in 1964.

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 Klute.
