Poisson (crater)

41.4

Poisson is an impact crater on the lunar front side, east of the crater Aliacensis and southwest of Pontanus. The crater is heavily eroded, often superimposed on the crater wall and sometimes barely discernible.

The crater was officially named by the IAU in 1935 by the French mathematician and physicist Siméon Denis Poisson.
