Kráter Komarov
Kráter Komarov, Měsíc
Komarov je měsíční kráter nacházející se na severní hemisféře na odvrácené straně Měsíce, není tudíž pozorovatelný přímo ze Země. Má průměr 80 km, pojmenován je podle ruského kosmonauta Vladimira Michajloviče Komarova, člena kosmických misí Voschod 1 a Sojuz 1.[1] Je situován na jihovýchodním okraji Mare Moscoviense (Moskevského moře) a má nepravidelný tvar. Severní okraj je totiž vyboulen směrem k Moskevskému moři dodávajíc tak kráteru tvar hrušky. Jeho členité dno je zvrásněno brázdami.
Severo-severozápadně od Komarova (uvnitř Mare Moscoviense) lze nalézt nevelký kráter Titov, jiho-jihovýchodně pak kráter Nagaoka.

Moonmap from clementine data.png
cylindrical map projection of the Moon. The Moon's whole surface was mapped by the Clementine spacecraft in 1994, here North is at the top. The dark floor of crater Plato is at the middle top above Mare Imbrium, while the bright floor and rays of crater Tycho is near the middle bottom below Mare Imbrium. Mare Procellarum is at the near left, and Mare Tranquillitatis is just right of centre and Mare Crisium is at the near right. The far left and far right show the contrast of the mostly cratered farside with small isolated mare.

Mare Moscoviense - Clementine.jpg
en:Mare Moscoviense sits in the Moscoviense basin.Like Mare Marginis, this mare appears to be fairly thin. However, it is clearly centered within a large impact basin. It is also much lower than either the outer basin floor or the farside highlands. The great depth of this mare beneath the nearby highlands probably explains why mare units are so rare on the lunar farside. Very few basins on the farside were deep enough to allow mare volcanism. Thus, while large impact basins are found on both the nearside and farside, large mare are mostly found on the nearside. Mare lavas apparently could reach the surface more often and more easily there. The basin material is of the Nectarian epoch, while the mare material is of the Upper Imbrian epoch. The crater Komarov is seen to the southeast of the mare. You can just make out the crater Titov in the northern regin of the mare.
