Tags: Crater.
Hyginus is a small lunar caldera located at the east end of the Sinus Medii. Its rim is split by a long linear rille Rima Hyginus that branches to the northwest and to the east-southeast for a total length of 220 kilometers. The crater is deeper than the rille and lies at the bend where they intersect. Together the crater Hyginus and Rima Hyginus form a distinctive and prominent feature in an otherwise flat surface.
