Geological Chronicle
Lemaître is an impact crater located in the southern hemisphere on the far side of the Moon, lying south of the older crater Minkowski and north of Crommelin. Geologically assigned to the Nectarian period, the crater measures 93.7 kilometers across. Its outer rim remains distinct despite rounding from minor impacts, displaying a polygonal, angular outline across its southeastern half.
The structure's inner wall descends to a slumped terrace before sloping more gently to a generally flat floor. Along the eastern inner wall rests Lemaître F, an angular satellite crater whose floor may be the lowest point on the Moon.
