GALLE (LUNAR CRATER)

'Galle' is a small lunar crater on the Mare Frigoris, to the north-northeast of the prominent Aristoteles crater. The formation is nearly circular, with a sharp-edged rim and little appearance of erosion. There are slight outward bulges in the rim to the north and northeast, but otherwise the formation is relatively symmetric.
