Tags: Crater.
Ellerman is a lunar crater on the far side of the Moon. It lies within the outer blanket of ejecta that surrounds the Mare Orientale impact basin and is located to the west of the Montes Cordillera mountain range. To the northwest of Ellerman is the larger crater Gerasimovich.Probably due to its location amidst rugged surroundings the otherwise circular rim of this crater is somewhat irregular and polygonal in shape.
