Nernst is a lunar impact crater that lies on the far side of the Moon just beyond the northwestern limb. It lies across the northern part of the larger walled plain Lorentz and intrudes slightly into the northwestern rim of the crater Röntgen.The rim of Nernst is relatively well-defined although several smaller impacts lies across the edge. The satellite crater Nernst T has broken through the western rim edge. Smaller craters also lie aling the rim to the southwest and south-southeast.
