Other Hansteen is the crater in the center about 30% up from the bottom of the image. Hansteen is 28 miles in diameter and 0.81 miles deep. Below and to the right of Hansteen is the crater Billy. Billy is about the same diameter as Hansteen, but was filled with lava at some point in the past. Notice the breech in the crater wall on the south side of Billy? Perhaps that is where the lava flowed in. I could not find the name of the nose-shaped mountain just north of Billy. Hansteen and Billy are on the edge of Oceanus Procellarum. Note all the other craters that have been covered up by lava, some that are barely discernable.
