Waters is a crater on Mercury. Its name was adopted by the IAU in 2012, after the American musician McKinley Morganfield, better known as Muddy Waters.[1]
The crater has a bright ray system, as well as an unusual dark flow-feature associated with the southern rim. The flow-feature is interpreted as impact melt.[2]
