Langrenus is a prominent impact crater 132km in diamater located near the eastern lunar limb. The feature is circular in shape, but appears oblong due to foreshortening. The outer ramparts are irregular and hilly, and there is a bright, fragmented ray system spread across the mare to the west which are the focus for this Lunar 100 object and faintly seen in the image above.
