Van Gent is a 43-km crater located on the lunar Far Side to the
south-southeast of the larger crater Konstantinov. About an equal
distance to the east-southeast is Spencer Jones and to the
southeast is Papaleksi. Van Gent joins the satellite crater Van
Gent X to the northwest to form a double crater. Van Gent also
partly overlies what appears to be an older crater remnant to the
southeast. This in turn is joined to Van Gent N, which is joined
to Van Gent P along its southeastern side. The result is a crater
chain of sorts consisting of five craters forming an arc with the
concave side facing to the west. The rim of Van Gent is slightly
distorted from a circle due to the craters with which it has
formed. The rim edge is somewhat worn, and a small craterlet lies
along the shared rim with Van Gent X. The interior is relatively
featureless, being marked only by a few tiny craterlets. (Credit:
