	Seleucus
		To the southwest is Krafft crater and to the northwest lies Briggs crater.
		The rim of Seleucus crater is well-formed, with a terraced inner rim and a slight rampart.
		Approximately 50 kilometers to the southeast of Seleucus crater, on the Oceanus Procellarum, is the landing site of the Soviet landing craft Luna 13.

		This means that no craters this size or larger have been degraded to the extent that their slopes are less than 5°-as were 80 percent of the small craters.
		We may assume then that all the larger impact craters that ever formed on the upper part of the mare surface have been retained and that their relative abundances in different areas are a measure of the relative age of those areas.
		A large oblong crater on the ridge near the bottom of the photograph has evidently been distorted by the ridge; in fact, the right edge of the crater seems to be cut off.

	Briggs (crater) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Careful observations demonstrated that rays were centered on and extended from bright craters, had lengths proportional to their source crater's diameters, were discontinuous, crossed over high and low areas without deviation, and often contained tiny bright crater pits.
		The reason rays were misinterpreted is that impact cratering was inconceivable, and thus so were the immense distances that rocks could be ejected during an impact.
		One peculiar ray seems to extend from near the crater Cardanus, passes Seleucus crater, and skirts the northern end of the Aristarchus Plateau.

	Crater diameter sequence for central north Oceanus Procellarum for small aperture amateur telescopes
		This crater sequence chart is intended as a resouce for amateur astronomers to explore crater sizes that are visible at various magnifications and apertures.
		The crater sequence chart extends from the lunar equator or north 24 selenographic latitude and to west 65 selenographic longitude.
		Craters in the Gazetter with different designations in Rükl's Atlas were excluded from the chart to maintain consistency between sources commonly used by amateurs.

	Eddington (crater) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Eddington is the lava -flooded remnant of a lunar impact crater, located on the western part of Oceanus Procellarum.
		The remainder of the rim is worn and irregular, forming a mountainous arc that is widest in the north.
		The floor is almost free of craters of significance, with the nearly-submerged crater 'Eddington P' lying in the southeast sector.

		In addition to being darker, maria are much less densely cratered and hence smoother than the terrae; most mare areas are relatively level and many occupy depressed areas.
		As is typical of the terrae or highlands, numerous craters of different sizes and ages are superposed on one another.
		It is a large, ancient crater, 250 km in diameter, with numerous younger and smaller craters superposed on its rim and flat floor.

	All about Babylonia
		Alexander's successor Seleucus I Nicator ordered the building of another Greek city, Seleucia; later, Uruk was refounded as a Greek town too, and king Antiochus IV Epiphanes (174-164) settled Greeks in Babylon again (text).
		Seleucus' reign lasted from 312 to 281 (more...), and he was succeeded by his descendants, who continued to govern these countries for two centuries.
		After the fall of the Achaemenid empire, Parthia, northeastern Iran, was governed by the Seleucid kings: a Macedonian dynasty that ruled in the Asian territories of the former Persian Empire.

	Catena Krafft and the twin craters
		The two craters, almost the same diameter, lay along the 72º line of longitude, with Cardanus to the south, and Krafft to the north.
		At Kraft the rille entered the crater through a cleft in the rim, between the large secondary crater Krafft D on the west, and an unlettered crater (in Rukl’s “Atlas”) to the east.
		A “catena” is a crater chain, yet the feature I saw looked more like a rima (or rille.) Downloading the Lunar Orbiter image revealed a valley with apparently several small craters along its length, it looked more like a small version of the Alpine Valley (Vallis Alpes) than a crater chain.

		From the previous observation, crater Mersenius has flattened much in appearance to more direct sunlight, but the large craters of Schickard and Phocylides to the south show much relief, despite being all illuminated.
		This is a marked contrast from crater Byrgius further west however.

	The Bible Fact or Fiction?
		I was astonished to see such little impact craters, perfectly shaped, as if a boy had shot a "bb" gun into hardening clay, yet so tiny as to be virtually invisible to the human eye.
		Next, notice Daniel 11:10-13: "But his sons shall be stirred up [the two sons were Seleucus III and Antiochus III], and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress.
		Seleucus was murdered by a man named Heliodorus, who was a "treasurer," or "tax-collector." This occurred in 176 BC.

		On the high road they met some waggons laden with gladiators' armour, and, seizing it, took refuge in the crater of Vesuvius, where a number of runaway slaves joined them.
		Spartacus was chosen leader ; Crixus and Oenomaus were his lieutenants ; and their ravages soon excited the alarm of the Capuan people.
		A wild vine covered the sides of the old and extinguished crater, and on ladders twisted from its stems, the fugitives descended the least accessible and therefore unguarded side of their place of refuge, attacked their besiegers in the rear, and supplied themselves with better weapons from the slain.

		Mount Zindan itself is a volcano, with a crater at the peak and a long volcanic ridge extending two or three miles from the peak.
		The volcano was extinct, but blasts of fetid air apparently steamed from the ground of this ridge, and there were a score of tiny warm springs bubbling up from miniature craters.
		The rim of the crater itself was about 300 feet in circumference.

		They state that previous results have shown that doublet craters are formed from two well-separated asteroids impacting at nearly the same time, such that two distinct craters are formed.
		They argue that the Davy chain differs from most lunar crater chains, which result from either volcanism or secondary impacts, but is similar in appearance to the crater chains observed on the Jovian satellites.
		Their models also indicate that most Earth-crossing comets and asteroids are moving too fast for fragment dispersion before impact to produce the observed crater chain length and conclude from this that the Davy chain and the Jovian satellite chains apparently result from bodies with different orbital characteristics.
