Golgi is a tiny lunar impact crater located in the Oceanus Procellarum, over 150 kilometers to the north of Schiaparelli crater. It is a circular, cup-shaped impact formation with an interior albedo that is higher than the surrounding dark lunar mare. This crater was previously designated 'Schiaparelli D' before being given a name by the IAU.
