Tags: Crater.

Buffon is a lunar crater that is located on the southern hemisphere on the far side of the Moon. It lies a crater diameter south of the large walled plain Chebyshev. To the northeast is the crater Langmuir and to the southwest is Leavitt. Buffon lies nearly at the midpoint between these formations.This is a worn and eroded crater formation with a circular rim that can still be traced through the rugged terrain but which is irregular and rounded due to a history of lesser impacts.
