Eponym Robert Norman

Norman is a small lunar impact crater on the Oceanus Procellarum, to the south and slightly west of the Euclides crater. To the west-southwest is the Herigonius crater. There are few other features of note in the vicinity, apart from some minor wrinkle-ridges in the surface of the mare.

The Norman crater is a circular, bowl-shaped formation with a small floor at the mid-point of the sloping inner walls. This feature was previously designated 'Euclides B' prior to being renamed by the IAU.
