Rimae Prinz
Just to the north of Prinz is a system of rilles designated the Rimae Prinz. These are sinuous in nature and extend for up to 80 kilometers. The tiny crater Vera is only a couple of kilometers to the north of Prinz's rim, and serves as the origin of one of these rilles. Within the same rille complex is the tiny crater Ivan. The crater Vera was previously identified as Prinz A, and Ivan as Prinz B, before they were assigned names by the IAU.
Crater | Longitude | Latitude | Diameter | Name source |
---|---|---|---|---|
Ivan | 26.9° N | 43.3° W | 4 km | Russian masculine name |
Vera | 26.3° N | 43.7° W | 2 km | Latin feminine name |
To the northwest is another distinct rille system designated Rimae Aristarchus.
