Beer]]}} '''Beer''' is a relatively small [[moon|lunar]] [[impact crater]] located on the [[Mare Imbrium]], to the east of [[Timocharis (crater)|Timocharis crater]]. Just to the northwest is the matching twin [[Feuillée (crater)|Feuillée crater]]. Beer is a circular, cup-shaped crater with a sharp-edged rim that has not been significantly eroded. The interior has a higher [[albedo]] than the surrounding [[lunar mare]], which is usually an indication of a relatively young crater. A string of craterlets arc away from the rim to the southwest. The [[Lunar mare|''maria'']] to the east has a higher [[albedo]] than the surrounding surface, and this lighter-[[hue]]d surface reaches to the base of the [[Montes Archimedes]]. To the southeast of Beer is a [[lunar dome]] that is of comparable diameter to the crater. ==Satellite craters== By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Beer crater. {| class="wikitable" !width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Beer !width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Latitude !width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Longitude !width="25%" style="background:#eeeeee;" |Diameter |- |align="center"|A |align="center"|27.2° N |align="center"|8.6° W |align="center"|4 km |- |align="center"|B |align="center"|25.7° N |align="center"|9.0° W |align="center"|2 km |- |align="center"|E |align="center"|27.8° N |align="center"|7.8° W |align="center"|3 km |} ==References== {{Lunar crater references}} {{Moon-crater-stub}} [[Category:Craters on the Moon]] [[de:Beer (Mondkrater)]] [[fr:Beer (cratère lunaire)]] [[ja:ベーア (月のクレーター)]]
