BURNHAM (CRATER)


'Burnham' is a small crater located to the southeast of Albategnius crater, in a relatively smooth area of the lunar surface. To the southwest is the Vogel crater.
The irregular rim of Burnham crater is protruding to the southwest, giving the wall a distorted, asymmetric appearance. There are breaks in the rim to the northwest and southwest, the later forming a valley running about 15 km. The interior floor is rough and irregular, and lacks anything resembling a central peak. The crater is otherwise unremarkable.
