Kao (crater)

34.54

Kao is an impact crater on the eastern edge of the lunar front side at the southern edge of Mare Smythii, east of the crater Kiess and directly north of Helmert, to which it is fused. The crater is very flat, since the interior was flooded with lavas of Mare.

The crater was officially named by the IAU in 1982 by the Taiwanese astronomers Ping - Tse Kao.
