The designation “Smith (lunar crater)” does not correspond to a widely documented or recognized lunar feature in the principal astronomical references, such as the International Astronomical Union’s Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature or major lunar atlases. Consequently, reliable encyclopedic information about its existence, dimensions, location, or eponym is not available.
Possible interpretations
- The name may have been used informally in certain amateur or historical contexts to refer to a small, otherwise unnamed impact crater on the Moon.
- “Smith” could be a placeholder name derived from the common surname, potentially intended for a future official naming pending IAU approval.
