LOVELL (CRATER)

'Lovell' is a small lunar crater that lies across the eastern edge of the Apollo walled plain, on the far side of the Moon. It has a somewhat irregular shape, with outward bulges to the north and west. The rim is sharpe-edged, with some slight wear along the northwestern bend. The featureless inner walls slope directly down to the uneven interior floor.
The crater is named for Apollo astronaut Jim Lovell.
