Cabeus is a
lunar crater that is located about from the
south pole of the
Moon. At this location the crater is seen obliquely from
Earth, and it is almost perpetually in deep shadow due to lack of
sunlight. Hence, not much detail can be seen of this crater, even from orbit. Through a
telescope, this crater appears near the southern limb of the Moon, to the west of the crater
Malapert and to the south-southwest of
Newton.
