Tebbutt is a lunar crater formation that is located near the southwestern edge of Mare Crisium. 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. John Tebbutt ( May 25 1834 &ndash November 29 1916) was an Australian Astronomer, credited with discovering the "Great Comet 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 Mare Crisium (the "sea of crises" is a Lunar mare located in the Moon 's Crisium basin just northeast of Mare Tranquillitatis. It was formerly designated 'Picard G' before being named by the IAU, and lies south of Picard crater. Picard is a lunar Impact crater that lies in the western part of the Mare Crisium. To the north of Tebbutt, but further east than Picard, is the flooded Lick crater. Lick is a lunar crater that has been flooded with Basaltic Lava.

This crater has a worn and damaged outer rim along its eastern half, but the rim is all but nonexistent on the western face — being little more than a pair of curved ridges beneath the surface. Lava flows have overflowed this western rim and submerged the interior, leaving a relatively level and featureless interior. A small craterlet marks the southern end of the interior floor, and several tiny craters mark the surviving rim.
