Lyot is a large lunar crater that is located along the southeastern limb of the Moon. It lies within the irregular and patchy lunar mare named Mare Australe and to the south of the crater Hamilton. Due to its location this formation is viewed at a low angle from the Earth and its visibility is affected by libration.The interior floor of this crater has been resurfaced by lava leaving a dark interior with an albedo that matches the surrounding mare.
