Eponym F. E. E. Borel

Borel is a tiny lunar impact crater located in the southeast part of Mare Serenitatis. To the northeast is the crater Le Monnier. Borel was previously identified as Le Monnier C before being named by the IAU.

This is a roughly circular, cup-shaped formation with inner floors that slope down to the mid-point of the crater. The interior has a higher albedo than the surrounding dark lunar mare.
