Buys-Ballot is an oddly-shaped lunar crater that is located on the far side of the Moon. It lies just to the northwest of the small lunar mare named Lacus Luxuriae and southeast of the crater Freundlich. Other nearby craters of note are Anderson to the southwest and Dante to the northeast.This formation has a distinctive shape for a crater having a prominent extension to the south that nearly doubles the dimension compared to the width across the maximum west-east cross-section.
