The interior floor appears to have been filled with a layer of material partially burying these projections.Īristoteles is a crater of Eratosthenian age. Aristoteles does possess small central peaks but they are somewhat offset to the south.


The crater floor is uneven and covered in hilly ripples. The outer ramparts display a generally radial structure of hillocks through the extensive blanket of ejecta. The inner walls are wide and finely terraced. Observers have noted the crater wall of Aristoteles is slightly distorted into a rounded hexagon shape. To the west is the low, flooded feature Egede. The smaller crater Mitchell is directly attached to the eastern rim of Aristoteles. An arc of mountains between these craters bends to the west before joining the walls. To the immediate south of Aristoteles lies the slightly smaller crater Eudoxus, and these two form a distinctive pair for a telescope observer. It was officially named in 1935 after the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle by the International Astronomical Union, using the classical form of his name.
