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. ...more on Wikipedia about "Airy (lunar crater)"

Aitken is a large lunar impact crater that lies on the far side of the Moon. It is located to the southeast of the Heaviside crater, and north of the unusual Van de Graaff crater formation. Attached to the southwest rim is the Vertregt crater. To the southeast is the smaller Bergstrand crater. ...more on Wikipedia about "Aitken (crater)"

Al-Bakri is a small lunar crater on the northwest edge of Mare Tranquillitatis. It is just south of the eastern arm of the Montes Haemus that borders the Mare Serenitatis to the north. To the east-northeast is the prominent Plinius crater. South of the crater are the rilles of the Rimae Maclear. ...more on Wikipedia about "Al-Bakri (crater)"

Al-Biruni is an impact crater that lies on the far side of the Moon, just beyond the eastern limb. This portion of the surface is sometimes brought into sight due to librations of the Moon, but due to its location the crater is viewed from the side. Al-Biruni lies to the south of Joliot crater, and to the northeast of Goddard crater. ...more on Wikipedia about "Al-Biruni (crater)"

To the northeast is the prominent Langrenus crater. The maria near Al-Marrakushi is marked by ray material from its larger neighbor. ...more on Wikipedia about "Al-Marrakushi (crater)"

Albategnius is an ancient lunar impact crater located in the central highlands. The level interior forms a "walled plain", surrounded by the high, terraced rim. The outer wall is somewhat hexagon-shaped, and has been heavily eroded with impacts, valleys and landslips. It attains a height above 4,000 meters along the northeast face. The rim is broken in the southwest by the smaller Klein crater. ...more on Wikipedia about "Albategnius (crater)"

Alden is a lunar crater that lies on the far side of the Moon, between Hilbert crater to the north-northwest and Milne crater to the south-southeast. To the south-southwest lies the Scaliger crater. Named after the American astronomer, Harold Alden. ...more on Wikipedia about "Alden (crater)"

Alfraganus is a small lunar impact crater that lies in the rugged highland region to the southwest of the Mare Tranquillitatis. Northwest of Alfraganus is the Delambre crater, and to the south is the irregular Zöllner crater formation. The rim of Alfraganus crater is circular and retains a sharp edge that has not received a significant amount of wear due to subsequent impacts. The interior floor is roughly half the diameter of the crater rim. ...more on Wikipedia about "Alfraganus (crater)"

Alhazen is a lunar impact crater that lies near the eastern limb of the Moon's near side. Just to the south-southeast is the Hansen crater, and to the west is the Mare Crisium. The rim of Alhazen is nearly circular, but appears highly oblong when viewed from the Earth due to foreshortening. The inner walls and the crater floor are rugged and irregular. A low ridge joins the south rim of Alhazen with the nearby Hansen crater. ...more on Wikipedia about "Alhazen (crater)"
