Wildt (crater)
Wildt is a small lunar impact crater that is located near the eastern limb of the Moon. The nearest named crater is Condorcet to the west-northwest. Wildt was previously designated Condorcet K before being named by the IAU. The crater is circular and bowl-shaped, with a small floor at the mid-point of the sloping interior walls. It has not received significant wear from subsequent impacts.
