caption_attribution_description: English: Oblique view of Franklin crater (lower left) and Cepheus crater (upper right), on the moon. Taken by Apollo 16 panoramic camera during Trans-Earth Injection. Brightness and contrast adjusted in GIMP.
context_page_description: Franklin is a lunar impact crater that is located in the northeast part of the visible Moon; it is named after Benjamin Franklin. To the north-northwest is the smaller crater Cepheus, and in the opposite direction to the southwest is the shallow Berzelius.
  The rim of Franklin is generally circular, with a pair of outward bulges in the western wall. The inner wall is terraced, and there is a central peak at the midpoint of the floor. A narrow cleft runs to the west-southwest across the floor, passing to the north of the central peak.
