Silberschlag (crater)
Template:Short description Template:Infobox Lunar crater
Silberschlag is a small, circular Impact crater in the central portion of the Moon. It was named after German astronomer Johann Silberschlag.<ref>Template:Gpn</ref> It lies between the craters Agrippa to the southwest and Julius Caesar to the northeast. Silberschlag is bowl-shaped and is joined at the northern rim by a small ridge.
Just to the north is the prominent Rima Ariadaeus, a wide, linear rille that runs toward the east-southeast. This cleft is about 220 kilometers in length, and continues to the edge of Mare Tranquillitatis to the east.
