Somerville is a small lunar crater in the eastern part of the Moon. It lies to the east of the prominent crater Langrenus and was designated Langrenus J before being given a name by the IAU. This is a roughly circular bowl-shaped formation with the larger but less conspicuous Langrenus H attached to the northwest rim. The rim has a protruding lip that extends slightly toward the southwest.This is one of a handful of lunar craters named after a woman Mary Somerville.
