(IAU Directions) ROST.--An oblong-shaped ring-plain, 30 miles in diameter, on the S.E. of Schiller, with moderately high walls, and, according to Neison, a shallow depression within, nearly central. I have seen a crater shown by Schmidt on the W. side of the floor. A valley runs from the W. side of Rost to the S. of Schiller.

Additional Information
Depth data from Kurt Fisher database
- Westfall, 2000: 2.46 km
- Viscardy, 1985: 2 km
- Cherrington, 1969: 2.49 km
Nomenclature
- Named for Johann Leonhard Rost (1688-1727), a German astronomer.
- According to Whitaker (p. 218), this name was introduced by Schröter, who himself got the name from a list prepared by Hell, where it appeared in the form Rostius and referred to a different crater (p. 93).
- Illustrations - many of the Moon - from Rost's Astronomical Handbook of 1718.
