Aristoteles - 87 km wide

In his book On The Moon, Sir Patrick Moore says "... a large crater intruding into a smaller peaked crater...is unknown on the moon."  But big Aristoteles intrudes into the small crater on its right side.  Sorry, Pat.

To the south, a barely visible crater named Linne caused quite a stir long ago.  In 1886 a famous astronomer announced that the crater at Linne had vanished and all that was left was a white patch.  It turned out that the problem arose from viewing a crater at the limits of visibility through the telescopes of the day.  The little crater (2.5 km) is still there.
