Recht is a small lunar impact crater on the far side of the Moon. Is lies across the eastern rim of the much larger Ostwald crater. To the northeast of Recht is the Meshcherskiy crater.
This is a bowl-shaped formation with an interior floor that is less than half the diameter of the crater. The inner walls have a higher albedo than the surrounding terrain, while the interior floor is about the same shade of gray.
