SHARONOV (LUNAR CRATER)

'Sharonov' is a lunar impact crater that lies on the Moon's far side. It is located to the southeast of the Anderson crater, and to the southwest of the ray-covered Virtanen crater. To the south-southeast of Sharonov lies Valier crater.
This crater is roughly circular, with a slight outward bulge along the southern rim. The rim edge is well-defined and has not been significantly degraded as a result of impact erosion. Sharonov partially overlays the smaller crater 'Sharonov X' along the northwestern rim, which in turn connects to the southeastern outer rim of Anderson crater. The inner walls of Sharonov display some s, especially along the northern half. The interior is not marked by a significant impacts, but there are some ridges near the mid-point.
