Kovalʹskiy (crater)
Crater on the Moon
Kovalʹskiy is a crater on the far side of the Moon. It lies about one crater diameter to the southeast of the prominent Sklodowska, and to the north-northwest of Bowditch and Lacus Solitudinis, a small lunar mare.
This feature has been heavily damaged by overlapping impacts, leaving it scarcely distinguishable from the irregular lunar terrain. The satellite crater Kovalʹskiy P lies across the southwestern rim, and Kovalʹskiy B intrudes into the northeastern rim. A small crater also lies across the northwestern rim. The interior is irregular and marked by several small craterlets.
Kovalʹskiy K lies at the midpoint of a high-albedo patch. A single faint ray extends to the southeast directly across Kovalʹsky.
