Description


Description: Elger

([/IAU%20Directions IAU Directions]) BOHNENBERGER.--A ring-plain about 22 miles in diameter, situated on the E. side of the [/Mare%20Nectaris Mare Nectaris], under the precipitous flanks of [/Montes%20Pyrenaeus the Pyrenees], whose prominent shadows partially conceal it for many hours after sunrise. The circular border is comparatively low, and, except on the N., continuous. Here there is a gap, and on the E. of it an intrusive mass of rock. From its very peculiar shadow at sunrise, the wall on the W. appears to be very irregular. The club-shaped central mountain is of considerable size, but not conspicuous. S. of Bohnenberger stands the very attenuated ring, Bohnenberger A. It is of about the same diameter, has a large deep crater on its N. rim, and a smaller one, distinguished with difficulty, on its S.W. rim. On the N. of Bohnenberger there is a bright little ring-plain connected with the formation by a lofty ridge, under the W. flank of which Schmidt shows a crater-chain. An especially fine cleft originates on the W. side of this crater, which, following an undulating course over the [/Mare%20Nectaris Mare Nectaris], terminates at [/Rosse Rosse], N. of [/Fracastorius Fracastorius].
