Geological Chronicle
Located on the far side of the Moon southwest of the large walled plain Gagarin, Levi-Civita spans 108.23 kilometers in diameter. The crater lies nearly as close to Pavlov to the south-southwest, with the smaller crater Pirquet positioned to its northwest. It is named for the Italian mathematician and physicist Tullio Levi-Civita.
Smaller impacts mark the rim and interior of the eroded crater. The southern rim closest to Pavlov is the most heavily eroded section, with multiple small craterlets along the edge and inner wall. Levi-Civita F lies along the eastern rim, while the relatively level interior floor is pitted by small craters and features a central ridge near its midpoint.
