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.
