Julienne (crater)

Julienne is a tiny lunar crater that is located in Palus Putredinis (southeastern Mare Imbrium), in the irregular terrain to the southeast of the prominent crater Archimedes, and about 12 km west of the landing site of Apollo 15 at Hadley Rille.

This is a dumbbell-shaped feature, with many smaller craters around it. The surface about this crater is marked by ray material from the crater Autolycus to the northeast. There are narrow clefts in the surface to the north and south of Julienne, and a hilly region to the west.

The feature name was officially recognized by the IAU in 1976.
