Maxwell is a lunar crater on the far side of the Moon. It lies in the southwestern part of the larger Richardson crater. The southern part of Maxwell is overlaid in turn by the partly-flooded Lomonosov crater. Attached to the exterior along the south-southeastern rim is the smaller Edison crater. Less than a crater diameter to the southwest is the larger Joliot crater.

p:abstract
  • Maxwell is a lunar crater on the far side of the Moon. It lies in the southwestern part of the larger Richardson crater. The southern part of Maxwell is overlaid in turn by the partly-flooded Lomonosov crater. Attached to the exterior along the south-southeastern rim is the smaller Edison crater. Less than a crater diameter to the southwest is the larger Joliot crater. The surviving outer rim of Maxwell is generally uneven and ill-defined where it overlays Richardson crater. Only along the western edge is it fairly well organized, but even there it is worn and eroded. The interior floor is relatively level and displays patches of low albedo material, usually an indication of basaltic lava, possibly from impact melt. However the floor is dusted with material from the ray system of the Giordano Bruno crater, located to the north-northeast, which has lightened the surface. The southern part of the interior floor is overlaid by the outerof the Lomonosov crater. (en)
