- Fahrenheit (Picard X) and the nearby ridge which could be part of Dorsa Harker are also seen in Apollo 17's panoramic ITEK-camera frames AS17-P-2228 and AS17-P-2223. In both frames, Fahrenheit is the crater with nearby ridge, located not far from the left margins.

Description
Fahrenheit is a bowl-shaped crater at the south-southeastern part of Mare Crisium and a handy signpost to get the location of the much smaller crater Lev (about halfway between Fahrenheit and Mons Usov), very near the landing spot of Luna 24 (which is on the moon since 1976).
