Copernicus is the large, 95km diameter crater in the centre of the image. The chain of 5km diameter crators in the upper middle are named Stadius A through W after the faint but larger crater at the bottom of the chain. These craters are [most likely] creatd by ejected material from the original Copernicius impact, but are named after Stadius as the nearest large crater. Eratosthenes is the 60km diameter crator in the upper right. The smaller craters at the bottom is Reinhold (49km) and Reinhold B (24km).
