Bessarion is a lunar impact crater located near the southwest edge of Mare Imbrium. Some distance to the east is the crater T. Mayer. Bessarion is a bowl-shaped crater with a low central rise and a higher albedo than the maria making it a brighter feature when the sun is overhead.Just to the north of Bessarion is a smaller crater Bessarion E that also has a relatively high albedo. This crater is sometimes called Virgil although this name is not officially recognized by the IAU.
