Tags: Crater.
Hippocrates is a lunar crater on the far side of the Moon. It is located in the northern region of the lunar surface to the north of the crater Stebbins. To the southwest of Hippocrates are Kirkwood and the large Sommerfeld.This is a relatively old formation that has become worn and eroded due to subsequent impacts. The general outline of the outer rim is still visible but it is overlaid along the eastern edge by a smaller crater. There is also a small craterlet along the western edge.
