Tags: Crater.

Petavius is a large lunar impact crater located to the southeast of the Mare Fecunditatis near the southeastern lunar limb. Attached to the northwest rim is the smaller crater Wrottesley. To the southeast are Palitzsch Vallis Palitzsch and Hase. Farther to the north is the large crater Vendelinus. Petavius appears oblong when viewed from the Earth due to foreshortening. Petavius is Imbrian in age.
