Florensky is a lunar crater that is attached to the northeastern rim of the larger Vernadskiy crater. It is located on the far side of the Moon and can not be directly viewed from the Earth. The rim of this crater has been heavily eroded and it forms an irregular ring about the uneven interior. This crater was previously identified as 'Vernadskiy B' before being assigned a name by the IAU.
