Hyginus (11 km), is a small crater, but positioned in such a way that you can not pass it. It is at the crossroads of the two rilles Rima Hyginus, and is located on the Sinus Medii.
Crater was named after Gaius Julius Hyginus (ca. 64 BC - AD 17), a latin author, student of the famous Cornelius Alexander Polyhistor. If is a native of Spain or Alexandria is uncertain.
