AS17-M-2834 Kiess is the large crater slightly above and to the left of center, which overlays the smaller [/Widmannst%C3%A4tten Widmannstätten] in the upper right. The fresher 30-km crater in the lower left is [/K%C3%A4stner Kästner] S.

- Two of Apollo 8's orbital Hasselblad photographs show Kastner S and the chevron-shaped rim of the dark Kiess north-northeast of it : AS08-12-2176 and AS08-12-2177. Research: Danny Caes.
- Pan 7, composed of Apollo 8's orbital Hasselblads AS08-12-2164 to 2177, shows Kiess and Kastner S near the pan's extreme left margin. Research: David Woods and Frank O'Brien (Apollo 8 Flight Journal).

Additional Information
- IAU page: Kiess
- Depth data from [/Kurt%20Fisher%20crater%20depths Kurt Fisher database]
- Pike, 1976: 0.8 km
- Westfall, 2000: 0.8 km
Nomenclature
- Named for Carl Clarence Kiess (1887 – 1967), an American astronomer. While working at the Lick Observatory on July 6, 1911, Kiess discovered comet C/1911 N1, which was named after him.
- This name appears on LTO-81B4 (for which it served as the chart title). It does not appear to replace any previous IAU-approved designation. Although it appears in the cumulative list of approved names printed in [/IAU%20Transactions%20XVB IAU Transactions XVB], when and how it came to be approved is not entirely clear from the IAU record. Biographical information was unofficially reported in [/Ashbrook%2C%201974 Ashbrook, 1974]. - JimMosher JimMosher
- Kastner S, the bright crater south-southwest of Kiess, was also called Cellini on LTO-81B4.
- Kiess and nearby [/Widmannst%C3%A4tten Widmannstätten] were called the Wright brothers by NASA personnel (this during the hey-days of the Apollo program).
