What is "silberschlag"

Silberschlag may refer to:

• Johann Silberschlag (1721–1791), German Lutheran pastor (1753–1766) and natural scientist
• Silberschlag (crater), a crater on the Moon named after him

Silberschlag is a small, circular Impact crater in the central portion of the Moon. It lies between the craters Agrippa to the southwest and Julius Caesar to the northeast. Silberschlag is bowl-shaped and is joined at the northern rim by a small ridge.

Just to the north is the prominent Rima Ariadaeus, a wide, linear rille that runs toward the east-southeast. This cleft is about 220 kilometers in length, and continues to the edge of Mare Tranquillitatis to the east.
