Degas is a rayed crater on Mercury at latitude 37.5 N, longitude 127 W. Its diameter is 54 kilometres (34 mi).

[1] The rays consist of light colored material blasted out during the crater's formation.

[2] Degas forms a crater pair with Brontë to the north.

[3] The crater's floor contains cracks that formed as the pool of impact melt cooled and shrank.

The illumination conditions and down-slope movement of eroded material exposing fresh rock also contribute to the bright appearance.
