Oresme is a 76 km crater on the Moon's Far Side. It lies
just to the west-northwest of the larger Von Karman (Section
152). To the southwest of Oresme is Chretien, and to the
northwest is Mare Ingenii. Oresme was believed to have formed
during the Nectarian epoch, about 4 billion years ago. This
crater has a considerably damaged outer rim that forms an
uneven, irregular ring about the interior floor. By contrast,
the floor of Oresme is a relatively level, featureless surface
that is marked only by a few tiny craterlets and low
topological features. The rim is cut across along the
southeast by the satellite crater Oresme K, and a smaller
crater lies along the northern rim. (Credit: Some of the
information used in the section feature descriptions was
obtained from wikipedia.org. Section 151 and this directory
was created by Fran Ridge and Ned Haskin of The Lunascan
Project).
