eponym=Gyula Fényi Fényi is a small
lunar crater on thefar side of the Moon . It lies near the southern edge of the huge, braided skirt of "ejecta " that surrounds theMare Imbrium impact basin to thenorth . Less than two craterdiameter s to thesouthwest is the much larger Mendel crater.Much of the rim and nearly all of this crater have been buried under material from the Mare Imbrium impact. The surrounding
terrain shows a radial pattern of grooves and braids running from north tosouth . Only a ring of material protrudes upward from this bed of "ejecta", displaying the location of the original rim. There is a small craterlet along the northeast inner wall.atellite craters
