eponym=Friedrich G. HoutermansHoutermans is a lunar crater that is located beside the eastern limb of the
Moon , in the region of the surface where visibility is affected bylibration . It lies to the east of Kreiken crater, and south of the Helmert-Kao double-crater.This is an elongated formation created by two or more merged crater formations. The crater formation is twice as wide in
longitude as it is inlatitude , with the long axis oriented toward the west-northwest. The rim is worn and eroded, with a tiny crater along the northern-most part of the rim, and an inward bulge along the northern half of the inner rim about 60% of the distance from west to east. The interior floor is relatively featureless, with only a few tiny craterlets.References
