Aryabhata (crater)
Aryabhata is the remnant of a lunar impact crater located in the eastern Mare Tranquillitatis. The crater has been almost completely submerged by lava-flow, and now only an arc-shaped ridge formed from the eastern half of the rim remains above the lunar mare. This crater was previously identified as 'Maskelyne E' before being named by the IAU.
