- Source: Charlier (lunar crater)
Charlier is a lunar impact crater located on the far side of the Moon. To its south-southeast lies the larger crater Kovalevskaya, while Perrine is situated to the northeast.
This crater shows significant erosion, with a damaged outer rim. The most intact section of the rim is in the northeast quadrant, while the southern and western rims have been worn down and partly covered by smaller craters. The western rim, in particular, is overlaid by a merged cluster of multiple small impacts.
The crater's interior floor has also been affected by numerous impacts, with several small craters scattered across its surface, some of which overlap previous impacts. However, two patches of the interior remain relatively undisturbed by notable impacts—one near the northern part of the floor and another in the southwestern region.
Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Charlier.
