Wikipedia
Rosse is a bowl-shaped lunar impact crater located in the southern part of Mare Nectaris. To the southwest is the large, flooded Fracastorius crater.
The interior of the crater has a higher albedo than the surrounding lunar mare, making it readily visible. While it lacks a ray system of its own, it lies across rays that cover the Mare Nectaris. Low ridges in the maria lie between this crater and Fracastorius to the southwest.
