Bernoulli is a lunar impact crater that is located in the northeast part of the Moon. It lies to the south of the Messala crater , and east of Geminus crater. The formation is nearly circular with several slight outward bulges around the perimeter. There is a sunken depression along part of the southern wall, forming an outward triangular bulge in the rim. At the mid-point of the crater floor is a central peak formation.

Satellite craters

By convention these features are identified on Lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Bernoulli crater.
