eponym=John Tyndall Tyndall is a relatively small lunar
impact crater on the far side of theMoon , behind the southeastern limb. It is located very near the western outer rim of the larger Pizzetti crater, and the two are separated only by a few kilometers of lunar terrain. To the southwest of Tyndall is Bjerknes crater, and to the south lies Clark crater.This is a roughly circular, bowl-shaped crater with a slight outward bulge along the eastern face. The rim edge is not significantly eroded and remains well-defined. The inner wall has some patches of slightly higher
albedo along the south and southwest faces. The remainder of the interior is relatively featureless, with only a few tiny craterlets to mark the surface.atellite 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 Tyndall crater.
