Berosus is a
lunarimpact crater that is located in the northeast part of the
Moon, less than one crater diameter northwest of
Hahn. Further to the east-northeast is the large crater
Gauss, and to the north-northwest lies
Bernoulli. Because of its location, this crater appears foreshortened when viewed from the
Earth.
The rim of this crater is roughly circular, but with some angularity along the eastern edge. The southern end of the crater has been heavily eroded, and there are some tiny craterlets along the northern rim. The inner walls have some
terracing along the east and northwestern sides. The interior floor of Berosus has been flooded by
lava, and so is level and nearly featureless.
