caption_attribution_description: English: This image from Lunar Orbiter 1 shows the craters Respighi (upper left) and Liouville (upper right). The highest resolution (print) image was losslessly cropped to focus on the craters.
context_page_description: Respighi is a small lunar impact crater that is located to the southeast of the crater Dubyago, near the eastern limb of the Moon. To the east is the comparably sized Liouville.
  This is a crudely circular crater with inner walls that slope down to the relatively darker interior central floor. The rim has not suffered significant erosion from subsequent impacts, but there is a shallower section to the south. Attached to the southern rim of this crater is Schubert N, a formation that has the appearance of two or more merged craters with a dark, lava-flooded floor that is elongated to the southeast.
  The crater is named for Lorenzo Respighi, 1824–89, Italian mathematician and astronomer.
