Eponym Jan Marek Marci

Marci is a small, unremarkable lunar crater on the far side of the Moon. It is located about a crater diameter to the west of the prominent Jackson crater. To the northwest of Marci is the larger Fitzgerald crater.

This is a roughly circular, bowl-shaped feature with slight outward bulges in the rim to the north and south. The inner walls are generally simple slopes the run down to the interior floor. This floor is about half the diameter of the crater. Marci lies within the bright ray system that surrounds the Jackson crater.

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 Marci crater.
