THEOPHILUS
Directory - Section 46

SECTION DESCRIPTION
From the north, this area is penetrated by the edge of Mare Tranquilitatis with the shallow rilles Rimae Hypatia. The large crater Theophilus is one of the most spectacular formations on the Moon. It forms a prominent trio with the craters Cyrillus and Catharina (Section 57). Craters Kant B and Zollner E are situated on the opposite edges of an extensive plateu which resembles a filled crater similar to Wargentin (Section  70). Refer to your Antonin Rukl lunar atlas chart, page 119.
