caption_attribution_description: English: Oblique view of part of Schuster, on the moon.
context_page_description: Schuster is a lunar impact crater that lies along the eastern rim of the much larger walled plain Mendeleev, on the far side of the Moon. To the east of Schuster is the crater Henderson, and to the southeast lies the large Chaplygin.
  The schuster is a worn and eroded crater formation, with the most intact portion of the rim along the western half where it overlaps Mendeleev. There is a tight cluster of small craterlets along the northern inner wall and floor where the crater rim joins the rim of Mendeleev. The satellite craters Schuster N and Schuster R overlie the southwestern rim edge. At the midpoint of the crater interior is a central peak. The eastern half of the floor is pock-marked by small and tiny craterlets.
  Prior to naming in 1970 by the IAU, this crater was known as Crater 218.
