Liebig (crater)

37.57

Liebig is an impact crater on the western edge of the lunar front side, west of the Mare Humorum, south of the crater Mersenius and north of Palmieri. The rim is slightly irregularly shaped and eroded. The northwestern edge of the crater tangent runs a lunar groove of the gas Rimae de Paris.

The crater was officially named by the IAU in 1935 by the German chemist Justus von Liebig.
