Feoktistov is a smalllunarimpact crater on thefar side of theMoon. It lies in the northernhemisphere, to the northwest of theMare Moscoviense. This crater has a small outward extension along the northern side, giving it the appearance of two overlapping craters that have merged. There are slight indentations of the rim along the east and northwest sides. The rim is otherwise rounded and not significantly worn. Apart from an irregular strip in the northeast, the floor is relatively featureless.
