Nasireddin
est un cratère de 53
km et profond de 3000 m situé dans la partie continentale méridionale de la
lune. Ce cratère recouvre deux formations plus anciennes, Miller (75 km,
3500 m), à piton central, au Nord et le cratère Huggins (65 km, 3000 m) à
l'ouest. Nasireddin contient beaucoup de détail, avec un mur intérieur en
terrasse et une muraille escarpée au Sud et à l'Est où le mur intérieur
s'est effondré. Le plancher intérieur est relativement de niveau, mais
rugueux. Il y a quelques basses crêtes centrales près du point médian à
l'intérieur, et quelques craterlets minuscules.

Nasireddin
is a lunar impact crater that lies in the rugged terrain in the southern
part of the Moon's near side. This crater overlays two older formations,
intruding into Miller crater to the north and Huggins crater to the west. To
the east of Nasireddin crater is the much larger Stöfler walled-plain.
This crater is a younger formation than the two craters it overlays,
particularly the worn Huggins crater to the west. This crater retains much
detail, including a terraced inner wall and a sharp rim to the south and
east where the inner wall has slumped. The interior floor is relatively
level, but rough-surfaced. There are a few low central peaks near the
mid-point of the interior, and a few tiny craterlets to mark the surface.
