This list also includes the one oceanus and the features known by the names lacus, palus and sinus. The modern system of lunar nomenclature was introduced in 1651 by Riccioli . [ 1 ] Riccioli's map of the Moon was drawn by Francesco Maria Grimaldi , who has a crater named after him.
This is a list of named lunar craters. The large majority of these features are impact craters . The crater nomenclature is governed by the International Astronomical Union , and this listing only includes features that are officially recognized by that scientific society.

Topography of the Moon. STL 3D model of the Moon with 10× elevation exaggeration rendered with data from the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Selenography is the study of the surface and physical features of the Moon (also known as geography of the Moon, or selenodesy). [1]
Layout of the 30 lunar quadrangles at the 1:2,500,000 map scale Layout of the 144 Lunar quadrangles at the 1:1,000,000 map scale. The Moon has been divided into 30 quadrangles by the United States Geological Survey at the 1:2,500,000 map scale. [1] At the 1:1,000,000 scale it's divided into 144 quadrangles. [2]
c. 1990 — The Clementine topographic data use 1,737,400 meters as the baseline, and show a range of about 18,100 meters from lowest to highest point on the Moon. This is not a list of the highest places on the Moon, meaning those farthest from the CoM. Rather, it is a list of peaks at various heights relative to the relevant datum.
Eclipses are listed in sets by lunar years, repeating every 12 months for each node. Ascending node eclipses are given a red background highlight. See also: List of lunar eclipses, List of 20th-century lunar eclipses, and List of 22nd-century lunar eclipses.
