Clementine Rozhdestvenskiy is the large crater in the center of this north-up aerial view. The deep 42-km diameter crater on its southeast rim is Rozhdestvenskiy K, while a little north of that on the rim is 21-km Rozhdestvenskiy H. The 109-km crater half visible in the lower left is [/Plaskett Plaskett] while the similarly sized, but less obvious, one in the upper right is [/Hermite Hermite]. Another named satellite, 44-km Rozhdestvenskiy U, can be seen cut by the left margin (half way between the north rim of [/Plaskett Plaskett] and the top edge of the frame). The craters on Rozhdestvenskiy's floor are unnamed.
