Template:Lunar crater Zelinksy is a lunar crater that is located on the far side of the Moon. It lies nestled along the northern edge of Mare Ingenii, with the oddly-shaped Van de Graff crater along the east rim and the lava-flooded Thompson crater within a crater diameter to the south.

This crater is somewhat wider than it is tall, having an outwardly bulging rim to the east. Many parts of the rim have not been significntly eroded by impacts, although a small crater lies along the inner wall at the north end of the interior floor. The floor is relatively level in the south and west, with some irregularities in the surface to the northeast.

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 Zelinskiy crater.
