Fourier is a lunar crater that is located in the southwestern part of the Moon's near side, just to the southeast of Vieta crater. Selenographic coordinates are used to refer to locations on the surface of Earth 's Moon. Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier ( March 21, 1768 &ndash May 16, 1830) was a French Mathematician and Physicist In the broadest sense the term impact crater can be applied to any depression natural or manmade resulting from the high velocity impact of a projectile with larger body Vieta is a lunar Impact crater that lies due north of the Schickard walled plain, in the southwestern part of the Moon. To the northeast is the Mare Humorum. Mare Humorum (the "sea of moisture" is a Lunar mare. The Impact basin it is located in is 825 kilometers across The rim of this crater is roughly circular, but appears oval when viewed from the Earth due to foreshortening. EARTH was a short-lived Japanese vocal trio which released 6 singles and 1 album between 2000 and 2001
Except to the north-northwest, the outer rim is not heavily eroded. The satellite crater 'Fourier B' lies along the eastern rim and inner side. The inner wall is relatively wide, and is slumped slightly along the edge forming a shelf near the perimeter. The interior floor is just over half the diameter of the crater rim, and is relatively level with a small crater to the west of the mid-point and another near the northeast edge.
Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Fourier crater.
