Encyclopedic overview
Albategnius is an ancient lunar impact crater located in the central lunar highlands. It is south of the crater Hipparchus and to the east of both Ptolemaeus and Alphonsus. The surface in this area is marked by a set of nearly parallel scars that form channels running roughly in a north–south line, bent slightly to the southeast.
