Bredikhin is a lunar crater that is located on the far side of the Moon. It lies just to the west of the Mitra crater, and northeast of Raimond crater.
This is a worn crater formation with features that have been dusted by material from the ray system of Jackson crater, about three crater diameters to the northwest. The rim is overlaid by a small crater along the west-northwest, and by a formation of craterlets along the southwest. The most prominent feature within the interior is the crater which overlays much of the northwest floor, including the mid-point.
[edit] Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Bredikhin crater.
