- Avicenna was photographed by Lunar Orbiter IV, see frame LO-IV-188-med. On this photograph, Avicenna's location is north (or "above") the Lorentz-Nernst-Rontgen group (captured at the upper half of the frame, near the sunrise terminator).
- See also LO-IV-190-med, in which Avicenna and the Lorentz-Nernst-Rontgen group were captured at the lower left part of the frame. In this photograph, a remarkable "groove" is noticeable north of Avicenna, which runs north-northwest toward an unnamed crater between Rynin and Chapman.

Additional Information
- Depth data from Kurt Fisher database :
- Cherrington, 1969: 3.26 km
- Remarkable "groove" north of Avicenna, which runs north-northwest toward an unnamed crater between Rynin and Chapman. This "groove" is vaguely depicted on page 73 (LAC 36) in the Clementine Atlas of the Moon (revised edition, 2012). - DannyCaes Feb 12, 2014
Nomenclature
- Named for Abu Ali Al-Hussein Ibn Abdallah (980-1037), also known as Ibn Seena and Avicenna, a Persian philosopher and, according to the IAU citation the "greatest physician of medieval times", who among his other accomplishments suggested the speed of light must be finite.
