eponym=George P. BondG. Bond is a small lunar
impact crater to the south of theLacus Somniorum , a smalllunar mare in the northeast part of theMoon 's near side. It lies to the east of the larger crater Posidonius, and to the south of the flooded crater remnant Hall. The crater is situated in a rugged section of terrain to the northwest of theMontes Taurus mountain region.This is a roughly circular crater that has not suffered significant impact. It is a bowl-shaped formation with an interior floor that is about half the diameter of the crater. The inner walls just slope down from the rim, and lack any notable structure.
To the west of G. Bond is a prominent
rille in thelava -flooded surface, designated the Rima G. Bond. This cleft follows a course roughly along a north-south orientation, and continues for a length of about 150kilometer s. The center of this feature is at 33.3° N, 35.5° E.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 G. Bond.
