- The red labeled Lunar Orbiter 2 photograph LO-II 034 Med shows the name Safarik ("Safavrik") at the location of crater Virtanen, which is too northward! (south-southeast of Lacus Luxuriae and Buys-Ballot). Safarik's location is east-southeast of Sharonov, and north of Tiselius.
- HiRes scan of LO-II 034 h1 which shows Virtanen near the frame's lower left corner. The largest crater in this frame is Sharonov (south upward).

Additional Information
Considered to be Copernican by Moore and McEwen (LPSC XXVII, #1450), but rays seems to be from later crater on Virtanen's rim.
Nomenclature
- Artturi Ilmari Virtanen (January 15, 1895 - November 11, 1973) was a Finnish agricultural biochemist. In 1945, Virtanen became a Nobel Prize laureate in chemistry "for his research and inventions in agricultural and nutrition chemistry”.
- On the 2 May 2017, the IAU approved the crater on/within Virtanen's eastern sector as Virtanen F (the first approved in 2017 at Lat: 15.79°N, Long: 177.32°E, Diam: 11.6 km).
Exploring the LROC's NAC close-ups of Virtanen F
Thanks John Moore! (news about the IAU's Virtanen F). This news is an interesting spark to start an exploration of the interior of that (rather unknown) crater!
The ACT-REACT QUICK MAP on the LROC-site shows wonderful NAC close-ups of that crater! Lots of chaotic lava-flow like details with numerous cracks and crevasses all over the slopes!
Thanks! - DannyCaes DannyCaes May 4, 2017
