Tags: Crater.

Fermi is a large lunar crater of the category named a walled plain. It lies on the far side of the Moon and can not be viewed from the Earth. Thus this feature must be viewed from an orbiting spacecraft.The most notable aspect of Fermi is that the large and prominent crater Tsiolkovskiy intrudes into its southeastern rim. Unlike Tsiolkovskiy however the interior of Fermi is not covered by dark basaltic lava and so it is barely distinguishable from the surrounding rugged and battered terrain.
