Fra Mauro es un astroblema, el remanente desgastado de una llanura amurallada lunar.Es parte de la formación Fra Mauro circundante, estando situado al noreste del Mare Cognitum y al sureste del Mare Insularum.Por su lado sur se une con los cráteres Bonpland y Parry, que invaden parcialmente la formación provocando que los restos del brocal se precipiten hacia el interior del cráter. About 80 km (50 miles) in diameter, Fra Mauro lies at about 6° S, 17° W, in the Nubium Basin (Mare Nubium) impact structure. His first two shots didn't fare well, but his third swing sent the ball sailing for "miles and miles and miles," Shepard reported. The name is also applied to the extensive
