Wood (crater)

Wood is a lunar impact crater that lies entirely within the interior of the much larger walled plain Landau, on the far side of Moon.

The inner wall of the northwest rim extends inward about halfway toward the crater midpoint, where there is a central peak.

The rim of Wood is somewhat worn and uneven, with a small crater laid across the southwest section.

[2] Wood lies at the approximate margin of the Coulomb-Sarton Basin, a 530 km wide impact crater of Pre-Nectarian age.

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