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]
