'''Manilius''' is a [[Lunar craters|lunar]] [[impact crater]] on the northeast edge of [[Mare Vaporum]]. Its diameter is 38 km.<ref name=gpn>{{gpn|3631}}</ref> |
|||
'''Manilius''' is a [[moon|lunar]] [[impact crater]] on the northeast edge of [[Mare Vaporum]]. It has a well-defined rim with a sloping inner surface that runs directly down to the ring-shaped mound of [[scree]] along the base, and a small outer [[wikt:rampart|rampart]]. The small crater interior has a higher [[albedo]] than the surroundings, and it appears bright when the sun is overhead. Within the crater is a central peak formation near the mid-point. The crater also possesses a [[ray system]] that extends for a distance of over 300 kilometers. |

==Description== |

==Satellite craters== |
|||
Manilius has a well-defined rim with a sloping inner surface that runs directly down to the ring-shaped mound of [[scree]] along the base, and a small outer [[wikt:rampart|rampart]]. The small crater interior has a higher [[albedo]] than the surroundings, and it appears bright when the sun is overhead. Within the crater is a central peak formation near the midpoint. |
|||
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Manilius. |
|||
The crater also possesses a [[ray system]] that extends for a distance of over 300 kilometers. Despite the presence of these rays, which generally indicate the age of the crater as [[Copernican period|Copernican]], the crater is currently mapped as [[Eratosthenian]] age.<ref>[http://www.imageagain.com/Strata/StratigraphyCraters.2.0.htm Stratigraphy of Lunar Craters], [[Donald Wilhelms|Don E. Wilhelms]] and Charles J. Byrne, January 23, 2009</ref><ref>[https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/pp1348 The geologic history of the Moon]. [[USGS]] Professional Paper 1348. By [[Don Wilhelms|Don E.

|||
==Names== |
|||
Manilius is named after the Roman astronomer [[Marcus Manilius]].<ref name=gpn/> Like many of the craters on the Moon's near side, it was given its name by [[Giovanni Battista Riccioli|Giovanni Riccioli]], whose 1651 nomenclature system has become standardized.<ref>Ewen A. Whitaker, ''Mapping and Naming the Moon'' (Cambridge University Press, 1999), p.61.</ref> Earlier lunar cartographers had given the feature different names. [[Michael van Langren]]'s 1645 map calls it "Isabellae Reg. Hisp." ([[Isabella Clara Eugenia|Isabella, Queen of Spain]]),<ref>Ewen A. Whitaker, ''Mapping and Naming the Moon'' (Cambridge University Press, 1999), p. 198.</ref> and [[Johannes Hevelius]] called it "Insula Besbicus" after the island in [[Turkey]] now known as [[İmralı]].<ref>Ewen A. Whitaker, ''Mapping and Naming the Moon'' (Cambridge University Press, 1999), p. 202.</ref> |

Eponym | Marcus Manilius |
Manilius is a lunar impact crater on the northeast edge of Mare Vaporum. Its diameter is 38 km.[1]
Manilius has a well-defined rim with a sloping inner surface that runs directly down to the ring-shaped mound of scree along the base, and a small outer rampart. The small crater interior has a higher albedo than the surroundings, and it appears bright when the sun is overhead. Within the crater is a central peak formation near the midpoint.
The crater also possesses a ray system that extends for a distance of over 300 kilometers. Despite the presence of these rays, which generally indicate the age of the crater as Copernican, the crater is currently mapped as Eratosthenian age.[2][3]
Manilius is named after the Roman astronomer Marcus Manilius.[1] Like many of the craters on the Moon's near side, it was given its name by Giovanni Riccioli, whose 1651 nomenclature system has become standardized.[4] Earlier lunar cartographers had given the feature different names. Michael van Langren's 1645 map calls it "Isabellae Reg. Hisp." (Isabella, Queen of Spain),[5] and Johannes Hevelius called it "Insula Besbicus" after the island in Turkey now known as İmralı.[6]
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Manilius.
