Geological Chronicle
Bawa is a miniature lunar impact crater spanning 1.57 kilometers in diameter on the far side of the Moon. Situated along the northwestern margin of Lacus Solitudinis, the diminutive crater rests atop the western rim of the larger walled feature Bowditch.
The hollow excavates to a depth of roughly 0.1 kilometers, while its rim rises approximately 40 meters above the surrounding terrain. In 1976, the International Astronomical Union officially adopted the designation Bawa, commemorating an African male personal name.
