Yamamoto (crater)

Yamamoto (crater)

Yamamoto is a damaged lunar crater that is located to the north of the large walled plain D'Alembert. To the north-northeast is the crater Avogadro. This feature lies on the northern hemisphere of the Moon's far side.

Several parts of the crater rim are overlain by subsequent impacts, particularly along the northeastern section which has been almost completely obliterated. The southwest part of the floor is more irregular than the remainder of the interior, and may have been overlain by ejecta from D'Alembert or elsewhere. The northeastern floor is relatively level and featureless.
