Pease (crater)

Pease (crater)

Pease is a lunar impact crater that lies in the north-northwestern edge of the huge skirt of ejecta that surrounds the Mare Orientale impact basin. It lies just over a crater diameter to the east of the smaller Butlerov crater. To the east-northeast of Pease is the somewhat larger Nobel crater.

This is a roughly circular, bowl-shaped formation with an outer rim that is only moderately eroded. No significant craters lie across the rim edge or the interior. There is a slight straightening of the western rim.
