An impact crater about 93 km in diameter and roughly 3.8 km deep. Its age is approximately 800 million years, making it relatively young by lunar standards and explaining its well-preserved state. The crater is named after the Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus and is located in the eastern part of the Ocean of Storms, west of the Apennine mountain range.
