Al-Khwarizmi (crater)

Al-Khwarizmi is a lunar impact crater located on the far side of the Moon. It lies to the southeast of Moiseev crater, and northeast of Saenger crater. It is named after Al-Khwarizmi, a 9th century Persian mathematician and astronomer.

The eastern rim of Al-Khwarizmi overlays a pair of craters, including 'Al-Khwarizmi J'. The outer wall is somewhat distorted from a circular shape, including a double-rim in the south. There is a small central peak at the mid-point, which forms part of a low ridge to the northeast.

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 Al-Khwarizmi crater.
