Cartan (crater)
Cartan is a small lunar crater near the eastern edge of the Moon. It lies just to the west of the larger Apollonius crater. The rim is circular with a tiny crater along the eastern side. The interior floor is about half the diameter of the crater. A smaller crater attached to the southern rim is also attached to the north rim of 'Apollonius H', forming a short crater chain.
Cartan crater was designated 'Apollonius D' before being named by the IAU.
