Timocharis is a potential target for lunar exploration due to its young age, which may give information on the formation of central peak craters elsewhere on the lunar surface.

To the north of
Timocharis is a tiny crater chain named the Catena Timocharis. THere are also a number of smaller craters in the immediate vicinity - notably

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to
Timocharis.
