Bode is a small, bright crater located near the central region of the Moon,[2] to the northwest of the joined craters Pallas and Murchison.[3] It lies on a region of raised surface between the Mare Vaporum to the northeast, Sinus Aestuum to the west, and Sinus Medii to the southeast.[2]

This circular crater is bowl-shaped,[4]:59 with a small interior floor and a ridge along the inner wall to the northeast. It has a minor ray system that extends for a distance of 130 kilometers. There is a group of rilles located to the west of the crater named the Rimae Bode. Its name comes from the name of the crater. Due to the interesting geology of this region, it has been proposed as a landing site for a future mission to the Moon.[5][6][7]

This crater was named after German astronomer Johann Elert Bode (1747-1826). Its designation was formally adopted by the International Astronomical Union in 1935.[1]

Satellite craters

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Bode.[8]
