Tags: Crater.
Cabeus is a lunar crater that is located about 100 km (62 mi) from the south pole of the Moon. At this location the crater is seen obliquely from Earth and it is almost perpetually in deep shadow due to lack of sunlight. Hence not much detail can be seen of this crater even from orbit. Through a telescope this crater appears near the southern limb of the Moon to the west of the crater Malapert and to the south-southwest of Newton.
