SILBERSCHLAG (CRATER)

'Silberschlag' is a small, circular lunar crater in the central portion of the Moon. It lies between Agrippa crater to the southwest and Julius Caesar crater to the northeast. The Silberschlag crater is bowl-shaped and is joined at the northern rim by a small ridge.
Just to the north is the prominent ''Rima Ariadaeus'', a wide, linear rille that runs toward the east-southeast. This cleft is about 220 kilometers in length, and continues to the edge of Mare Tranquillitatis to the east.
