Bergman is a small
lunarimpact crater that is located on the
far side of the
Moon. It was named after Swedish astronomer
Torbern O. Bergman.[1] It is located on the interior floor of the walled plain
Mendeleev, and is attached to the edge of the inner wall to the northwest. On the same walled basin are the craters
Moissan to the south and
Richards to the west. The rim of Bergman is roughly circular, and the formation is generally bowl-shaped. The western half of the interior floor is covered with a slope of
scree, leaving a small level floor on the eastern side.
