Image 1: Impact craters Jackson, Mitra, Mach and Korolev. Altitude 4375 km

Craters Jackson, Mitra, Mach and Korolev

Jackson crater is a 71 km dia crater at 22.4°N and 163.1°W (shown in the inset).

The interesting feature at the western outer rim of Mach crater is another impact crater, Mitra (92 km dia).  It is named after Prof. Sisir Kumar Mitra, who was an Indian physicist and Padma Bhushan recipient known for his pioneering work in the field of ionosphere and Radiophysics.

The Korolev crater seen in the image is a 437 km crater.

Image 2 : Impact craters Sommerfeld and Kirkwood.

Craters Sommerfeld and Kirkwood

Sommerfeld is a large impact crater located in the farside northern latitudes of the Moon.  It is a 169km dia crater. It has relatively flat interior surrounded by a ring mountain. The crater is named after Dr. Arnold Sommerfeld who is a German physicist pioneered in the field of atomic and quantum physics.

North east to this crater lies the Kirkwood crater named after the American astronomer Daniel Kirkwood, another well-formed impact crater which is approximately 68 km dia.

Craters Plaskett, Hermite and Rohzdestvenskiy

The plaskett is 107 km in diameter. 

The hermite is 104 km in diameter, which is one of the coldest spots in solar system (25 deg k).

The rohzdestvenskiy is 177 km in diameter.
