Crater on Mercury
Carducci is a crater on Mercury. It has a diameter of 108.19 kilometers.[1] Its name was adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 1976. Carducci is named for the Italian poet Giosue Carducci, who lived from 1835 to 1907.[2]
An unnamed crater of about 20 km (12 mi) diameter has obliterated the western portion of Carducci's central peak complex.[3]
