Meton is a compound formation on the Moon that consists of several merged crater rings that have been flooded with lava, forming the remnant of a walled plain in the shape of a clover leaf. It is located near the northern lunar lumb, and is viewed from a low angle and foreshortened. The crater Barrow is attached to the southwest rim. To the northwest is Scoresby crater, and to the east is Baillaud and Euctemon craters.
Name Author: Riccioli (1651) Satellite craters By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Meton crater.
