Dove is a small lunar impact crater located in the rugged lunar highlands in the southeastern part of the Moon . It lies to the north of the prominent crater Pitiscus . The crater is named after Prussian physicist Heinrich Wilhelm Dove .
This is a heavily worn and eroded crater with a rim that is overlaid by multiple small craters. In particular the satellite crater Dove C has broken into the southwestern rim and a gap joins the floor of the two formations. The southern rim has been struck by multiple small impacts that form a tight cluster across the rim. There are also several small craters along the northern rim. Dove does have a small interior floor that is relatively level and marked only by a few tiny craterlets.
Satellite craters [ edit ]
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Dove.
