Scoresby is a
lunar impact crater that is located in the northern part of the
Moon's near side. It is nearly attached to the crater
Challis along the north-northwestern rim, and is located just to the north of the walled plain
Meton. Due to its location, this crater appears highly foreshortened when viewed from the
Earth, appearing elliptical in shape. It is, however, very nearly circular when seen from above.
