Talk:List of craters on the Moon

Lebedinsky, Lipsky
I know these two guys. You can find a bio of Alexander Lebedinsky on my website here: http://www.mentallandscape.com/V_Biographies.htm. I regularly talk with one of his students. He died of a heart attack while swimming at a spa in the Crimea.

Lipsky was particularly famous for analyzing the photos from the far side of the Moon returned by Luna-3 and Zond-3. Here's a bio of him in Russian: http://selena.sai.msu.ru/Home/Resear/Lipsky/Lipsky.htm DonPMitchell (talk) 05:13, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

We need a list of the largest craters of the Moon....
We need a list of the largest craters of the Moon.... With their names, diameters, and locations in lunar latitude and longitude. This would be especially useful for someone who is trying to refresh his/her memory in a hurry. Let's see: Tycho, Copernicus, Clavius, Aristarchus,... 47.215.211.115 (talk) 01:02, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

Largest crater is...?
(See above 2016)

Article Lunar craters says;


 * The largest crater called such is about 290 kilometres (181 mi)

I’m guessing that’s the Bailly crater; cited as 300.56km in List of craters on the Moon.

Any chance of a top20; instead of having to step through each letter of the alphabet?


 * 2,500 km South Pole-Aitken (SPA) basin
 * 316.39km Schrödinger. Far side.  [312km in its article].
 * 300.56km Bailly.  Near side.       [303km in its article].
 * 233.55km d'Alembert.  Far side.  [248km in its article].
 * 230.77km Clavius.  Near side.
 * 227.02km Deslandres.  Near side.
