Hind is a lunar impact crater that lies to the southeast of the Hipparchus walled plain, and due east of Halley crater. The rim of Hind crater is relatively free of wear and distortion, except for a break at the north rim. The floor of Hind is relatively uneven, however, compared to the interior of Halley. Hind and the associated craters 'Hind C' and 'Hind L' form a line of craters with diminishing diameters that point to the northeast.

atellite 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 Hind crater.
