Desargues is an ancient lunar crater that is located near the northern limb of the Moon, on the western hemisphere. Geometry, a diameter of a Circle is any straight Line segment that passes through the center of the circle and whose Endpoints are on the The depth of any crater in a solid Planet or moon - whether it is an Impact crater, a Volcanic crater, or a Subsidence crater - may Selenographic coordinates are used to refer to locations on the surface of Earth 's Moon. Girard Desargues ( February 21 or March 2, 1591 -October 1661 was a French Mathematician and engineer who is considered one of 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 "Globose" redirects here See also Globose nucleus. A sphere (from Greek σφαίρα - sphaira, "globe It lies nearly due south of Pascal crater, and southeast of the Brianchon crater. Pascal is a lunar crater that lies near the northern limb of the Moon, on the western side of the pole Brianchon is a lunar crater that is located along the northwestern limb of the Moon. The proximity of this crater to the limb means that the formation appears highly elongated due to foreshortening, and it is ddifficult to discern details from the Earth.

This formation has been significantly eroded and degraded with the passage of time, leaving a low, irregular rim that has been reshaped by subsequent impacts. The rim has a notable bulge to the northeast, and a lesser bulge along the southern rim. The later remains as an imprint of a ghost-crater in the surface that overlays the southern rim, and leaves a remnant of its northern rim in the crater floor. A palimpsest is a Manuscript page whether from scroll or Book that has been written on scraped off and used again
The bulge to the northeast has left a remnant of its origin in the crater floor, as a series of low hills extending from the north and southeast. These enclose the northeastern third of the floor, and are suggestive of an overlapping crater formation. This crater is overlaid in turn by a pair of craters that lie across the eastern rim.
The floor of the crater is level and has most likely been resurfaced by subsequent lava flows, or by fallback and ejecta deposits. Lava is molten rock expelled by a Volcano during an eruption When first expelled from a volcanic vent it is a Liquid at Temperatures This wiped away much of the original structure of the interior, leaving ridges and traces where once lay crater rims. Other lesser craters intrude into the rim, with 'Desargues M' forming a bulge into the southern rim and 'Desargues A' overlaying the northern rim.
Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Desargues crater.
