Clairaut is a lunar crater that is located in the rugged southern highlands of the Moon’s near side. It lies directly to the south of the crater Maurolycus and southeast of Barocius. Just to the southwest is Cuvier.This crater has been eroded and damaged by subsequent impacts particularly in the southern half of the formation. The satellite crater Clairaut A lies across the southeastern rim. The southern rim has been modified by several small craters including Clairaut B.
