Bowditch is a lunar crater that lies on the far side of the Moon, just beyond the eastern limb. Selenographic coordinates are used to refer to locations on the surface of Earth 's Moon. Nathaniel Bowditch ( March 26, 1773 &ndash March 16 1838) was an early American Mathematician remembered for his work on ocean In the broadest sense the term impact crater can be applied to any depression natural or manmade resulting from the high velocity impact of a projectile with larger body Far Side of the Moon, in original French, La face cachée de la lune, is a 2003 film by Robert Lepage. It is located on a region of the lunar surface that is occasionally brought into view due to libration, but at such times the area is viewed from the edge and so not much detail can be observed. In Astronomy libration (from the Latin verb librare "to balance to sway" cf It lies just to the north of the small Lacus Solitudinis lunar mare, between Titius crater to the southwest and Perel'man crater to the east-northeast. Lacus Solitudinus ( Latin for "Lake of Solitude" is a small Lunar mare on the far side of the Moon. The lunar maria (singular mare, two syllables are large dark Basaltic plains on Earth 's Moon, formed by ancient Volcanic eruptions Titius a lunar crater that is located on the Moon 's far side, beyond the eastern limb Perel'man is a worn Impact crater that lies on the Moon 's far side.
The rim of this crater is open to the southwest and the crater is elongated to the northeast, possibly due to a merged crater. The outer rim varies in height, with the most prominent sections being the southwest face and a ridge mount to the northwest. The interior floor has been flooded with basaltic-lava, an unusual feature for a crater on the far side. Basalt (bəˈsɔːlt ˈbeisɔːlt ˈbæsɔːlt is a common Extrusive Volcanic rock. Lava is molten rock expelled by a Volcano during an eruption When first expelled from a volcanic vent it is a Liquid at Temperatures The interior floor is generally flat, and marked by a number of small craterlets. However there are some low ridges in the surface that are concentric with the inner wall. A formation of irregular ridges occupies most of the rim gap along the southwest.

Nearby craters
Near the southern rim of this formation, at the northern edge of the Lacus Solitudinus, are four tiny craters that have been assigned individual names by the IAU. These are listed below.
