Petavius is a prominent lunar crater located in the southern hemisphere of the Moon’s near side, near the lunar equator. This crater is one of the many fascinating geological features observed on the lunar surface and offers a spectacular view, especially when seen through a telescope during a crescent quarter phase.

Petavius is a remarkable example of a complex impact crater and provides insight into the geological forces that shaped the lunar surface. Observing it offers a window into understanding lunar geological processes and the Moon’s violent past.
