Banachiewicz (crater)
Template:Lunar crater Banachiewicz is a largely degraded lunar crater that is located near the eastern limb of the Moon. Portions of the western and southwest rim still survive as low ridges in the surface, while the remainder is a jumble of irregular terrain with little definition. There are two small impact craters of note within the interior: 'Banachiewicz B' is adjacent to the western rim, while the smaller Knox-Shaw crater is located closer to the mid-point.
Just to the northeast of this formation is the large Neper walled-plain, which lies on the southern edge of Mare Marginis. The Schubert crater is located to the south of Banachiewicz, while 'Schubert E' is attached to the exterior of the western rim.

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 Banachiewicz crater.
