Addams (crater)

Addams is an 87 km diameter impact crater on Venus,^[1] located on the eastern flank of the Triglava Corona.^[2] It was named after American social worker Jane Addams.^[3] The bright outflow deposits from this oblique impact extend 600 km from the crater rim.^[4] This is the largest outflow deposit for any Venusian crater,^[5] and it has been compared to a mermaid in form.^[6] The material from this fluidized ejecta blanket likely lies on the down-trajectory side of the impact.^[4][7][8][6]
