Yangelʹ
Template:Short description Template:Infobox Lunar crater
YangelTemplate:Softsign is a small lunar impact crater that is located in the irregular terrain to the north of the Mare Vaporum. Its diameter is 8 km. It was named after Soviet rocketry scientist Mikhail Kuzmich YangelTemplate:Softsign in 1973.<ref name=GPN>Template:Gpn, accessed 20 February 2019</ref> This crater was formerly designated Manilius F.
It is a relatively solitary crater formation, and the nearest larger craters lie more than 100 kilometers distant. To the southeast of YangelTemplate:Softsign is the prominent crater Manilius. Conon is located to the northwest, near the flanks of the Montes Apenninus range.
Just to the north of YangelTemplate:Softsign is the small lunar mare named Lacus Felicitatis, or Lake of Happiness. To the northeast, forming a bay on the Mare Vaporum, is Sinus Fidei. A sinuous rille named Rima Conon runs along the middle of this feature, reaching the northern end.
This is a circular, bowl-shaped crater with a narrow outer rim. The interior floor has a relatively low albedo that matches the dark hue of the mare to the south.
