Aristillus (crater)
Aristillus is a prominent lunar impact crater that lies in the eastern Mare Imbrium. T. W. Webb described it as "a very magnificent crater" and "the ring stands up nobly from the plain, and is flanked on all sides ... by radiating banks". Patrick Moore noted that the "interior details show optical variations over a lunation." Directly to the south is the smaller crater Autolycus, while to the southwest is the large Archimedes. To the northeast are the craters Theaetetus and Cassini.
