Aloha is a tiny, horseshoe-shaped impact crater on the Moon. It lies to the northwest of the Montes Agricola ridge, on the Oceanus Procellarum. The crater is located near the faint terminus of a ray that crosses the mare from the southeast, originating at the crater Glushko.[2] The female name Aloha is Hawaiian in origin and was formally adopted by the International Astronomical Union in 1976.[1]
