Tags: Crater.

Curie is a large lunar crater much of which lies on the far side of the Moon as seen from the Earth. The western rim projects into the near side of the Moon as defined by the selenographic coordinate system. However the visibility of this formation depends on the effects of libration so that it can be brought fully into view or completely hidden depending on the orientation of the Moon.
