Page "Rowland (crater)" Paragraph 0

Rowland is a large lunar crater that is located in the northern part of the Moon, on the far side from the Earth.

This is an old, worn formation that is overlain by a number of smaller craters.

The most notable of these is Rowland Y, which is attached to the inner wall along the north-northwestern rim.

Additional smaller craters are attached to the inner wall along the southeastern and south-southwestern rims, the latter being designated Rowland N. Rowland C forms a double crater with a smaller, bowl-shaped formation in the eastern part of the floor.
