Tags: Crater.
Eckert is a tiny isolated lunar impact crater in the northern part of the Mare Crisium (a circular region of relatively dark flat material on the surface of the Moon). This crater forms a circular pit in the dark surface of the surrounding lunar mare. Just to the west is a wrinkle ridge in the mare surface a feature that is prominent only under oblique lighting from the Sun. The nearest craters of note are Peirce to the west-northwest and Picard to the southwest.
