Bridgman (crater)

Bridgman is a lunar impact crater that is located on the far side of the Moon.

To the west-southwest is the old formation Becquerel, and eastward are the craters Pawsey and Wiener.

The prominent outer wall of Bridgman is only somewhat worn, and retains much of its original detail including traces of terrace structures and slumping.

The interior floor is generally level, with a central peak formation at the midpoint.

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