Pascal (crater)

Pascal is a lunar impact crater that lies near the northern limb of the Moon, on the western side of the pole.

It is located to the north of the eroded crater Desargues, and just east of Brianchon.

Pascal can be located by finding the crater Carpenter and then following the surface to the northwest towards the limb.

This crater has undergone a degree of impact erosion that has left its features softened and rounded.

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