Other · Other · 19.24°N, 83.31°W

Balboa is a lunar impact crater that is located near the western limb of the Moon. It is best viewed prior to full Moon during favorable librations. Due to foreshortening, the crater appears highly oval when viewed from the Earth. In actuality, however, the formation is relatively circular. It is comparable in size to the crater Dalton, located just to the southwest. The eastern rim of Balboa lies just to the west of the Oceanus Procellarum.
