Baillaud B (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Baillaud

Named after (Édouard) Benjamin Baillaud - French astronomer (1848-1934).

Baillaud is a lunar crater that is located near the north limb. The rim of the crater has been eroded and worn by a long history of impacts, leaving a hilly ridge surrounding the interior. The crater Euctemon is intruding into the rim to the northeast, and the rim bulges outward to the northwest. At the south end of the crater is a gap connecting to the lava-flooded surface to the south. (wikipedia entry)
