Geological Chronicle
Moseley is a worn lunar impact crater spanning 88.89 kilometers in diameter along the western limb of the Moon. Located south of the crater Bartels and near the north-northeastern rim of Einstein, the feature is viewed side-on from Earth, with little detail visible. It can also become hidden from sight due to the effects of libration.
The outer rim has been worn and eroded by subsequent impacts, leaving little of the original structure intact beyond an irregular circular ridge surrounding the interior floor. In contrast, the crater floor is relatively level and featureless, marked by only a few tiny craterlets. The feature is named for British physicist Henry Gwyn Jeffreys Moseley (1887–1915).
