13:21

Piazzi Smyth is a small lunar impact crater on the northern front in the plane of the Mare Imbrium. To the southeast lies the Mons Piton, in the eastern edge of the Mare Imbrium with the Montes Alpes and the crater Cassini. To the south lies Aristillus and southwest of the small craters church. The crater is bowl-shaped and the edge only slightly eroded.

The crater was officially named by the IAU in 1935 after the Scottish astronomer Charles Piazzi Smyth.
