Molière (crater)

Molière is an impact crater on the planet Mercury, 139 kilometers in diameter.

The nearly circular rim of the crater is cut off into a flat edge on its southern and southwestern ends, and on its eastern side the rim is indented by a smaller crater.

The crater is named for the 17th-century French dramatist and satirist Molière.

The name was approved by the International Astronomical Union in 1976.
