Eponym | Étienne Bobillier |
Bobillier is a tiny, cup-shaped lunar impact crater in the southwest part of Mare Serenitatis. It lies to the north-northwest of the crater Bessel, north of the Menelaus crater and northeast of the Sulpicius Gallus crater. To the south and west is a wrinkle ridge designated Dorsum Buckland. Halfway between the crater and Sulpicius Gallus B satellite crater is a wrinkle ridge designated Dorsa Sorby located southwest.
Bobillier was previously identified as Bessel E before being named by the IAU in 1976.
