Description
Haworth is the prominent 35-km diameter pentagonal crater seen just beyond [/Malapert Malapert Alpha] in radar maps of the lunar south pole (to the upper left of "Sh" = [/Shoemaker Shoemaker] in this one, for example). Since the radar can see it, it must, in theory, be visible from Earth, but because it is in nearly permanent shadow it is rarely, if ever, obvious -- even in photographs taken from space. We know of its existence because radar beams from Earth can occasionally reach into it at a steeper angle than sunlight can. - JimMosher JimMosher

Nomenclature
- Named for Walter Haworth (March 19, 1883 – March 19, 1950), a British chemist who is best known for his groundbreaking work on ascorbic acid (vitamin C). He received the 1937 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. The "Ha" is apparently pronounced as in "hawk", but separated from the "w".
- The name Haworth was officially approved in October 2008.
