Anat (crater)

Anat is a small crater on Ganymede, the largest moon of the planet Jupiter. At approximately 2.9 kilometres (1.8 mi) in diameter, it is the smallest named crater on Ganymede. Despite its small size, the crater's center was chosen as the point through which the moon's 128° W meridian passes. The longitudinal coordinates of all other craters and surface features on Ganymede are based on Anat's location.
