Tags: Crater.
Einstein is a large lunar crater that lies along the western limb of the Moon making it difficult to observe from the Earth. The visibility of this formation is affected by libration effects but even under the best conditions not much detail can be observed except from lunar orbit. Nearby craters of note include Moseley just to the north Dalton along the eastern rim Vasco da Gama just to the southeast and Bohr to the south-southeast.
