Tags: Crater.

Struve is the lava-flooded remains of a lunar impact crater. It is located near the western extreme of the Oceanus Procellarum close to the western lunar limb. As a consequence even though it is roughly circular in outline it appears oval due to foreshortening.The northern rim of this crater intersects the smaller lava-flooded crater Russell to the north and there is now a wide gap between the two formations.
