Gaudibert (crater)

Gaudibert is a lunar impact crater that lies along the northeast edge of Mare Nectaris in the eastern part of the Moon's near side.

This crater has a low rim and an irregular interior that makes it a relatively inconspicuous formation.

These are best viewed when the sun is at a low angle, resulting in greater contrast and shadows.

The crater was named after French astronomer Casimir Marie Gaudibert by the IAU in 1935.

[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 Gaudibert.
