Al-Marrakushi is a small, relatively isolated lunar impact crater in the eastern Mare Fecunditatis. It is a circular, symmetrical formation, with inner walls that slope down to the midpoint. To the northeast is the prominent crater Langrenus. The mare near Al-Marrakushi is marked by ray material from its larger neighbor.
This crater was identified as Langrenus D until it was given a name by the IAU in 1976.[1] It was named after Abu Ali al-Hasan al-Marrakushi (fl. 2nd half of 13th century).
