Rabbi levi
est un cratère de 81 Km situé sur le plateau continental dans
une région particulièrement dense en cratères. Ainsi sur la partie orientale
Un champ dense de petits cratères à impacté la région, pulvérisant le mur
oriental qui a perdu son aspect originel. Au Sud-est de Rabbi Levi on trouve
un cratère Riccius (71 Km) en mauvais état, à cause de ce bombardement
intensif. Le mur Nord-est est co-jointif avec un ancien cratère fantôme
occupé par le plus récent Lindernau (53 Km, 2930 m). Sur le versant Nord de
Rabbi Levi se trouve le cratère Zagut (84 Km), lui aussi en mauvais état. La
muraille de Rabbi Levi est fortement érodée et arrondie. Le fond est plat
avec la présence de monticules et craterlets ainsi que des cratères plus
importants.

Rabbi Levi
is a lunar impact crater that is located among the rugged highlands in the
southeastern part of the Moon's near side. Several notable craters are
located nearby, including Zagut crater just to the north-northwest, the
heavily impacted Riccius crater to the southeast, and Lindenau crater to the
northeast next to Zagut.
This is a heavily worn and eroded crater formation, with several smaller
craters lying along the incised rim and across the interior floor. A group
of these craters form a cluster in the western part of the floor, consisting
of the satellite craters A, L, M, and D, as well as lesser craterlets
trailing away to the south-southeast. The largest of these craters is 'Rabbi
Levi L', a bowl-shaped formation just to the northwest of the mid-point. The
remainder of the floor is relatively level and nearly featureless. Clusters
of craters also lay across the eastern and southwestern sections of the rim.
Attached to the northeast is the remnant of an old formation that intrudes
into the Rabbi Levi crater, producing a straightened section of rim along
that face. This unnamed formation has been almost completely obliterated,
and is overlaid in the northwest by Lindenau, and along the outer northeast
side by Rothmann crater.
