Izsak (crater)
Crater on the Moon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Izsak is a small lunar impact crater that is located on the Moon's far side,[2] hidden from view from the Earth. It lies about half-way between two walled plains; Fermi to the northeast and Milne to the southwest. Due south of Izsak is the larger crater Schaeberle. Izsak is a circular, nearly symmetric crater formation with a sharp-edged rim that has received little erosion. At the midpoint of the interior floor is a small central peak.[3] The infrared spectrum of pure crystalline plagioclase has been identified on this rise.[4]
