Vening Meinesz (crater)

Vening Meinesz is a lunar crater on the far side of the Moon. The northern inner wall of this crater lies along the lunar equator. To the north of this formation is the larger crater Mandel'shtam, and slightly farther to the south is the larger Keeler. Dewar is located less than one crater diameter to the southeast of Vening Meinesz.

This is an eroded feature with multiple small craterlets along the rim. As a result, the structure has been worn down and the rim edge is no longer well-defined. The largest of the impacts overlying this crater is a small crater along the bottom edge of the northern inner wall. The remainder of the interior floor is relatively level. Attached to the northwest outer rim is the satellite crater Vening Meinesz W, and attached along the northeast is Vening Meinesz C.
