BRIEF DESCRIPTION
25.0_S_155.0_W
Ridge section 144 is Plummer, which is a 73 km lunar impact crater on the Far Side of the Moon. Section 144 also contains part of the huge walled plain, Apollo to the south. Less than one crater diameter to the north of Plummer is the similar-sized Wilsing. Not to be confused with the famous crater in Arizona, the 68 km crater Barringer is located SE of Plummer near the section's edge. Plummer is a worn crater formation with several notable impacts along the rim. The largest of these is the satellite crater Plummer M intruding into the southern rim. Slightly smaller is Plummer W overlapping part of the northwestern outer rim. There is also a relatively fresh crater cutting across the eastern rim. The interior floor of Plummer is marked by only a few tiny craterlets, and a central peak offset just to the east of the midpoint.
