Tags: Crater.
Hume is a small lunar crater that lies along the eastern limb of the Moon along the southeast edge of Mare Smythii. It is located just on the far side of the Moon but it is often brought into sight from Earth due to libration. Hume lies just to the west-northwest of the much larger Hirayama and to the northeast of the flooded crater Swasey.Hume has been flooded by flows of basaltic lava leaving only a slender rim projecting above the surface.
