Kosberg is a small lunar crater that is located near the middle of the huge Gagarin impact basin, which lies on the far side of the Moon and cannot be viewed directly from the Earth. Kosberg is a flat-bottomed crater with a circular outer rim, simple sloping inner walls, and a somewhat lumpy interior floor. A similar crater lies less than a crater diameter to the southwest, forming a matching pair. Kosberg also lies just to the west of a similarly-sized, but deeper and more prominent bowl-shaped crater, Gagarin G.
