Tags: Crater.
Lepaute is a small lunar crater that is located along the western edge of the Palus Epidemiarum a minor lunar mare in the southwestern part of the Moon’s near side. To the east is the larger crater Ramsden within a system of rilles named the Rimae Ramsden. This is an elongated crater feature that is longer in the north–south direction. The outer rim is only slightly worn and the inner walls are simple slopes that run down to the level featureless interior floor.
