BRIEF DESCRIPTION.
Seyfert is a prominent lunar impact crater located on the lunar
Far Side. It lies behind the eastern limb of the Moon to the
east of the crater Espin. Just to the north of Seyfert is the
crater Harriot and equally close to the south is Polzunov. The
outer rim of Seyfert is slightly elongated to the north, and the
northeastern rim is overlain by the satellite crater Seyfert A.
This overlapping impact crater has a central ridge on its
interior floor. There is a low ridge near the midpoint of
Seyfert, but it is less prominent. The inner wall of Seyfert is
wider along the northern edge, west of Seyfert A. Several small
craters lie along the rim and interior of Seyfert, including a
merged group of small craters along the eastern inner wall, a
small crater intruding into the southeastern rim, and a pair of
small craters along the southern rim of Seyfert A. The interior
floor of Seyfert is relatively level, and is marked by a number
of tiny craterlets. Traces of the ray system from Giordano
Bruno (Section 84) to the northwest lie along the rim and
interior floor of Seyfert. (Most of the data for this area was
taken from wikipedia.org. However, this Ridge Section was
created by Francis Ridge and Ned Haskin of the Lunascan
Project).
