Capuanus (crater)
Capuanus is a lunar impact crater that lies along the southern edge of the Palus Epidemiarum. The outer rim is eroded and indented by lesser crater impacts, with notches in the north, west, and southern parts of the rim. The interior floor has been resurfaced by basaltic lava, which is connected to the surrounding lunar mare by a narrow, crater-formed gap in the northern rim. Dotting the floor of the crater are eight domes, which are believed to have formed through volcanic activity. Three instances of transient lunar phenomenon have been reported for this crater.
