Eijkman (crater) - 1 reference result
Eijkman is a lunar impact crater that is located on the far side of the Moon's southern hemisphere. It lies about a half crater diameter to the southeast of the larger Lemaître crater. To the south-southwest is Crommelin crater, and to the northeast is Fizeau crater.
The rim of this crater is well-defined and has not been significantly worn down by impacts. Nevertheless there are a few tiny craterlets along the edge and a small craterlet along the northern inner wall. The inner walls display some minor terracing along the northwestern edge. Near the mid-point of the crater interior floor is a horseshoe-shaped central peak formation, with the open end pointing toward the south.
