Lindbergh is a small lunar crater that is located in the western part of the Mare Fecunditatis. It lies to the west of the flooded Bilharz crater, and northeast of Ibn Battuta crater. Lindbergh was previously designated 'Messier G' before being given its name by the IAU. The unusual Messier crater formation lies about 150 km to the northwest.
This is an isolated crater that is entirely surrounded by lunar mare. It is circular and bowl-shaped, with an interior floor that is about half the diameter of the crater. The inner walls slope gently down to the floor, and lacks notable features or impacts.
