Razumov (crater)
Encyclopedia
Razumov is an impact crater
on the far side of the Moon
, beyond the northwestern limb as seen from the Earth
. It lies along the southeastern outer rim of the walled plain Landau
. Intruding slightly into the southern rim is the slightly smaller crater Petropavlovskiy
. To the west-southwest lies Frost
.
This crater has a worn outer rim, with a small crater along the northwestern rim and outward bulges to the north-northeast and east-southeast. The interior floor has a small crater in the western half and small craterlets along the western and southern edges. It is otherwise marked only by a few tiny craterlets.
