Mitchell is a lunar crater, named after Maria Mitchell, which is attached to the eastern rim of the larger and more prominent crater Aristoteles. The floor of Mitchell is rough and irregular, with a low central rise, being partially filled with the ejecta of the younger Aristoteles. There is a slight notch in the southern rim, and the western wall has been completely absorbed by the rim of Aristoteles.
Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint which is closest to Mitchell.
