What is Coblentz (lunar crater)?
[[File:Coblentz crater LROC WAC.jpg|thumb|240px|The Coblenz crater]] '''Coblentz''' is a small [[crater]] on the far side of the [[Moon]], to the south of the much larger [[Bolyai crater]]. The crater has a circular edge, but it has been worn away by asteroid hits. This is most noticeable at the southern end where a gap exists in the rim. The interior floor has very few features except for several tiny craterlets. A ridge arcs from the northwest rim of Coblentz to join the southern rim of Bolyai. There are several patches of dark (low [[albedo]]) material just to the south and southwest of Coblentz. ==References== * {{cite book | author=Andersson L.E.; Whitaker E.
