Everything about Baily Crater totally explained
Baily is the remnant of a
lunar crater on the boundary between
Mare Frigoris to the north and
Lacus Mortis to the south. The crater interior has been flooded by
lava in the past, and only the northern half of the crater rim remains relatively intact. There is an outward bulge in the northeastern rim, possibly the remnant of another crater formation that once overlapped Baily. The crater interior is flat and relatively featureless, with no impacts of significance. The surviving outer rim reaches a maximum elevation of about 0.5 km.
The nearest crater of note is
Bürg to the south-southwest. Further to the west is the prominent
Aristoteles crater.
