Crater on Mercury
Dürer is a crater on Mercury. It has a diameter of 195 kilometers.[1] Its name was adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 1976. Durer is named for the German artist Albrecht Dürer, who lived from 1471 to 1528.[2]
Dürer is one of 110 peak ring basins on Mercury.[3] Hollows are present within Dürer on and around the central peak ring.
Erté crater is north of Dürer, and Glinka is to the southeast.
