Eponym	Charles Piazzi Smyth

Piazzi Smyth is a smalllunarimpact crater in the eastern part of theMare Imbrium. It was named after Scottish astronomerCharles Piazzi Smyth.^[1] This is an isolated feature located about 100 kilometers to the southwest of theMontes Alpes mountain range. To the southeast of this crater isMons Piton, an isolated mountain that rises to a height of 2.3 km and occupies a diameter of about 25 km.

This crater is a nicely circular feature with a rim and interior that have not been significantly modified by impacts. The inner walls slope smoothly downwards to the small floor about the midpoint, which occupies a diameter of only one-fifth the total diameter of the crater. This formation has no other notable features, and itsalbedo matches the surroundinglava plain.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Piazzi Smyth.
