Gadomski (crater)

Gadomski is a lunar crater on the far side of the Moon. It is located to the south of the much larger crater Fowler, and to the west of Klute.

This crater, like many features on the Moon, has an eroded outer rim that has been modified by subsequent impacts. A merged pair of craters is attached to the exterior of the southern rim, and satellite crater Gadomski X is attached along the north-northwest. A small crater also intrudes slightly into the eastern flank. Gadomski in turn overlies the western portion of a still larger, and unnamed crater feature that is even more heavily eroded. The rim is roughly circular, but is slightly distended toward the southwest. The interior floor is relatively featureless, with a few tiny craterlets marking the surface.

The crater was named after Jan Gadomski (1889–1966), polish astronomer.
