Airy is a lunar impact crater located in the southern highlands. It forms the southern-most member of a chain of craters consisting of Vogel, Argelander, and Airy. A little further to the south lies Donati crater. The Airy crater has a worn, and somewhat polygonal rim that it broken at the northern and southern ends. It has an irregular floor and a central peak.
Satellite craters
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 Airy crater.
It is the smallest member of a trio of craters that increase in size from north to south, consisting of the Vogel, Argelander and Airycraters.
To the west is the remnant of the Parrot crater.
Crater Vogel B to the north is overlain in turn along its northern rim by an even smaller crater, thus forming a cluster of interconnected craters with Vogel being the largest.
