presents STORMER Farside Directory - Ridge Section 78

BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Stormer is a 69 km lunar impact crater that is located on the lunar Far Side, named after Carl Stormer, a Norwegian mathematician and aurora researcher. It lies in the northern part of the Moon, to the southeast of the crater Olivier (also 69 km). (Note: Olivier N  attached to its SW corner with a crater chain in-between). Stormer is also to the north of van Rhijn (out of frame). Stormer is a relatively young formation with features that have not received a significant amount of wear or erosion from subsequent impacts. The edge of the rim is sharply defined, and the inner wall is terraced along the northwestern side. The interior floor is relatively level, with a double-peak formation at the midpoint.  Störmer P, a satellite crater, is attached to the exterior of the rim of Störmer along the southwest side. (Credit: Some of the information used in the section feature descriptions was obtained from wikipedia.org.  Section 78 and this directory was created by Fran Ridge and Ned Haskin of The Lunascan Project).
