BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Ventris is located near the bottom of Section 118 and centered in the regional map linked above. It is a 95 km wide crater on the lunar Far Side, located between the crater Schliemann (out of frame) just to the northwest and the large Keeler which lies slightly farther to the southeast (also out of frame). One crater diameter to the northeast is Vening Meinesz. Since it was formed, this crater has been heavily worn and eroded by subsequent impacts. Multiple craters lie across the rim and within the interior. The largest of these is Ventris C covering the northeastern rim. In the northern part of the floor is Ventris A. The southern floor contains Ventris M, a fresh impact crater with a small ray system and a relatively high albedo. The rays from this satellite extend in a skirt that covers most of Ventris. Narrower rays extend much farther to the northwest and southwest. (Credit: Most of the information used in this section feature descriptions was obtained from wikipedia.com.
