Tags: Crater.
Aratus is a small lunar impact crater located on the highland to the south and east of the rugged Montes Apenninus range. It is a circular cup-shaped crater with a relatively high albedo. To the east is the Mare Serenitatis and to the southwest is the somewhat larger crater Conon. North-northeast of Aratus is the landing site of the Apollo 15 mission just beyond Mons Hadley Delta.
