Petropavlovskiy (crater)
Petropavlovsky is a crater on the far side of the Moon. It is attached to the southern rim of the slightly larger crater Razumov, intruding slightly into the interior. Just to the west is the crater Frost, along the southern rim of the walled plain Landau.

This is a moderately eroded feature, with a worn outer rim that is marked by several lesser impacts. A merged pair of small craters cuts across the northwestern rim and inner wall, and another craterlet lies along the southeast rim. The interior floor is relatively level, except for a double central peak formation at the midpoint.
Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Petropavlovskiy.

gollark: I made a LOØÞ:```04 b0 00 0804 10 01 ff04 e0 ff 0203 e0 a0 0004 de 03 0102 c0 a0 0002 dd a0 00ff 00 00 0004 aa 00 0107 ab 00 00```
gollark: Hmm, apparently my JLT instruction is not JLTing.
gollark: I dislike it.
gollark: In my case it's opcode, 2 4-bit registers, and a 16-bit constant.
gollark: If I wasn't currently writing test code by hand as hexadecimal strings, I might do what MIPS does and make opcodes 6 bits and register indices 5 bits.
