Fracastorius (124 km), is a crater that looks more like a sinus, as Sinus Iridum. This crater is located on south plateau of Mare Nectaris. In these images, sunlight floods in abundance all craters.
Fracastorius has a smooth floor, with nothing different from the Nectaris basin. Northern edge of the crater, was demolished or molten by lava that penetrated through the area. Some subsequent small craters appeared on the floor, and the distinct ones are called Fracastorius L (5 km) and M (4 km).
Crater has very many other satellite craters lined up on the west side, and to the south. On the west side, we meet larger craters, called Fracastorius H (21 km), Y (12 km) and D (28 km) between them.
