Gauss (crater)

Gauss crater is an impact crater located on the Moon, named after the famous mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss. It measures about 84 kilometers (52 miles) across and features a well-defined central peak, which forms when the ground rebounds after the impact. The crater's complex structure includes terraced inner walls and a flat floor, indicating significant geological processes. Gauss provides valuable scientific insights into lunar history, impact dynamics, and the Moon's geological evolution. Its relatively well-preserved features make it an important site for lunar studies and exploration.
