Swift (lunar crater)

Swift is a small lunar impact crater located in the northwestern part of the Mare Crisium, in the northeast part of the Moon's near side.

It was named after American astronomer Lewis A.

This circular and bowl-shaped formation has a small floor at the midpoint of the sloping interior walls.

It is a symmetrical crater with little evidence of wear from minor impacts.

This crater has been incorrectly named 'Graham' on some maps.
