Wiener is a lunar impact crater that lies on the Moon's far side from the Earth. Geometry, a diameter of a Circle is any straight Line segment that passes through the center of the circle and whose Endpoints are on the The depth of any crater in a solid Planet or moon - whether it is an Impact crater, a Volcanic crater, or a Subsidence crater - may Selenographic coordinates are used to refer to locations on the surface of Earth 's Moon. Norbert Wiener ( November 26, 1894, Columbia Missouri – March 18, 1964, Stockholm, Sweden) was an American 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 Far Side of the Moon, in original French, La face cachée de la lune, is a 2003 film by Robert Lepage. EARTH was a short-lived Japanese vocal trio which released 6 singles and 1 album between 2000 and 2001 It is located just to the southwest of the larger Campbell crater. Campbell is a large lunar crater that is located in the Northern hemisphere on the far side of the Moon. To the southwest of Wiener is the heavily worn Kurchatov crater. Kurchatov is a lunar Impact crater thatis located on the Moon 's far side. To the east along the rim of Campbell is the Von Neumann. Von Neumann is a lunar Impact crater that lies on the far side of the Moon, in the northern hemisphere. The smaller Pawsey crater lies to the north-northwest, and is partly overlaid by the outer rampart of Wiener. Pawsey is a worn Impact crater that lies next to the northern outer ramparts of Wiener crater, on the far side of the Moon.
The northwestern half of the crater rim is well-formed, with some slumping and terraces along the inner walls. There is an outward protrusion in the rim along the northern side where the crater borders along Pawsey. The southern part of the crater is more irregular, with a wider, uneven inner wall and a poorly-defined rim edge. The rim overlays about half of the heavily worn satellite crater 'Wiener K' along the south-southeast. The smaller satellite crater 'Wiener Q' lies along the southwestern rim, and the relatively fresh and polygon-shaped 'Wiener F' is attached to the eastern rim.
Within the crater, much of the interior floor is relatively level, with a clump of small ridges forming a central peak structure near the mid-point. There is a small craterlet to the east-northeast of these ridges, and there are several small craterlets near the southwestern inner wall.
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 Wiener crater.
