It lies along the western edge of the Oceanus Procellarum , to the northeast of the crater Lavoisier crater Lavoisier . The northeastern rim of this crater is on the edge of the Sinus Roris , a bay feature in the northwestern part of the Oceanus Procellarum. Due to its proximity to the limb, this crater appears significantly foreshortened when viewed from the Earth . This crater is somewhat distorted from a true circular shape, and is slightly longer to the north and south. The outer rim has undergone some erosion due to subsequent impacts. Most notably, the crater Lavoisier E is attached to the western rim, and the outer rampart falls across part of the inner wall of vonBraun. There are small craters along the rim to the southeast and the east, and craterlets along the northeast and southwestern rims. The inner wall has slumped along the southeast and northwestern sides to form a wiktionary terrace terrace like shelf. The interior floor is relatively level and featureless, with a few small craterlets marking the surface. This crater was previously identified as Lavoisier D before being assigned a name by the International Astronomical Union IAU .

Orphan date September 2008 Unreferenced date March 2007 Ralph Jerome VonBraun Selz 1909 ???? was a drifter convicted of murder in the death of Ada Brownell French Rice, the estranged wife of the mayor of Nome, Alaska . Labeled The Laughing Killer by the press, Selz continuously filed petitions for his release and made several successful escapes from prison only to be recaptured each time. Selz arrived in San Francisco, California in late 1935 and met Rice who, shortly thereafter, invited him to share a small cottage with her in Palo Alto . He was 30 years younger than her but considered himself a Romeo of sorts and seemed to be a perfect match for the oversexed Rice. On February 27, 1936 Selz was arrested on auto theft charges and police discovered he had been forging Ada Rice s signature and cashing checks on her account. Although Selz didn t know it, Rice had been reported missing police questioned him for weeks and he finally confessed to killing her and burying her body in the Santa Cruz mountains.
