Lexell is a lunar crater that lies across the southeastern rim of the huge Deslandres walled-plain, in the southern part of the Moon. To the northeast is the Walther walled-plain, and to the south is the Orontius walled-plain. This is a somewhat irregular formation with a wide break in the northern rim. The western rim forms a low, arcing wall, and is overlaid to the southwest by 'Lexell H' after passing the rim of Deslandres. The rim peaks along the southeast, then comes to an end at a rugged promontory-like ridge. The interior floor has been resurfaced by lava to the northwest and in sections of the remainder of the floor. There are some low rises and ghost-crater rims in the southeast half part of the interior floor. |
