Heaviside is a 165 km lunar impact crater located on the
lunar Far Side. It is attached to the eastern rim of the
equally large walled plain Keeler (Section 118), although
Keeler is somewhat less eroded. Much further northwest
is Stratton (Section 119) but the satellite crater Stratton
K is in the far NW corner of our section here. To the
southeast of Heaviside is the prominent Aitken, which is
stealing the show with all its interest and reports, but
Heaviside is the most prominent crater. Its outer wall has
been worn and eroded by subsequent impacts, particularly to
the north and south. Only the eastern rim remains relatively
intact, while the western rim has been slightly distorted by
the adjacent Keeler impact. The relatively flat interior
floor is marked by many small craterlets and rugged terrain
to the southeast and west. The most notable of these are the
satellite craters Heaviside N in the south, Heaviside Z in
the north, and the bowl-shaped Heaviside E near the eastern
rim. (Credit: Some of the information used in the section
