presents CHAUVENET Farside Directory - Ridge Section 127

BRIEF DESCRIPTION
11.5_S_137.0_E
Chauvenet is an impact crater that is located to the northeast of the prominent crater Tsiokovsky (Section 138) on the lunar Far Side. Less than one crater diameter to the northwest of Chauvenet is the crater Ten Bruggencate. The rim of Chauvenet is roughly circular, with the satellite crater Chauvenet C  overlying the northeastern side and intruding into the interior. A ridge runs from the western side of this intruding feature to the midpoint of the interior of Chauvenet. The remainder of the floor is marked only by a number of tiny craterlets. There is a shelf of slumped material forming a terrace along the southeast inner wall. The remainder of the inner wall is somewhat irregular in form. (Credit: Some of the information used in the section feature descriptions was obtained from Wikipedia.org.  Section 127 and this directory was created by Fran Ridge and Ned Haskin of The Lunascan Project).
