Tags: Crater.
Goldschmidt is a large lunar crater of the variety commonly termed a walled plain. It lies in the northern part of the Moon’s near side and appears oval in shape due to foreshortening. The rim is actually relatively circular although the western rim is overlain by the prominent crater Anaxagoras. Nearly attached to the southeast rim is Barrow and the two formations are separated by a rugged rise about 30 kilometers across.
