Tags: Crater.
Balboa is a lunar crater that is located near the western limb of the Moon. Due to foreshortening the crater appears highly oval when viewed from the Earth. In actuality however the formation is relatively circular. It is comparable in size to the crater Dalton located just to the southwest. The eastern rim of Balboa lies just to the west of the Oceanus Procellarum.The rim of Balboa is worn and eroded with the most intact sections along the eastern and western edges.
