Béla (crater)
(Redirected from Carlos (crater))
Béla is a small lunar crater located in the Montes Apenninus range. It is an elongated formation with the long axis oriented to the northwest, and forms the start of the Rima Hadley rille that meanders to the northeast.
Rima Hadley
This sinuous rille follows a course generally to the northeast toward the Mons Hadley peak, for which it is named. This feature is centered at selenographic coordinates 25.0° N, 3.0° E, and has a diameter of 80 km. To the east of this rille, southwest of Mons Hadley, is Mons Hadley Delta . The valley between these two peaks served as a the landing site for the Apollo 15 mission.
Besides Béla, three other small craters near this rille have been assigned names by the IAU. These are listed in the table below.
| Crater | Longitude | Latitude | Diameter | Name source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carlos | 24.9° N | 2.3° E | 4 km | Spanish masculine. |
| Jomo | 24.4° N | 2.4° E | 7 km | African masculine. |
| Taizo | 24.7° N | 2.2° E | 6 km | Japanese masculine. |
