Craters of Venus
The International Astronomical Union has named 881 craters on Venus, and every one carries a woman's name. Of those, 346 honor women who made outstanding contributions to their fields, and the other 535 carry female first names from around the world.

How the craters of Venus get their names
The International Astronomical Union names the features of Venus, and its Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature, kept by the U.S. Geological Survey, records each name. Under the rule for Venus, craters wider than 20 km are named for women who made outstanding or fundamental contributions to their fields, and smaller craters carry common female first names.
Most craters follow that rule, and a few cross the line. Of the 330 craters wider than 20 km, 313 are named for famous women and 17 carry first names. In the other direction, 31 craters narrower than 20 km are named for famous women.
Only one feature on Venus is named for a man. Maxwell Montes, the highest mountains on the planet, honors the physicist James Clerk Maxwell. Radar astronomers gave it that name before the rule was set, and the IAU kept it.
About the map
Thick clouds hide the surface of Venus from ordinary cameras, so this globe is a radar map. NASA's Magellan spacecraft orbited Venus from 1990 to 1994 and mapped nearly all of its surface by radar, and the USGS Astrogeology Science Center built the global mosaic shown here from that data.
The colors on this map show height. The low plains are blue and violet, the middle ground is green, and the highlands run from orange through red to pink. The scale turns violet again at the very top, so the summit of Maat Mons, the highest volcano, shows violet too, and the pale patch in the far north is Maxwell Montes, the highest ground of all.
Each crater is drawn at the Gazetteer's coordinates and at its listed width. The map is too coarse to show most small craters in the picture itself, so we mark them with a dot until you zoom in. Latitudes are planetocentric, and longitudes run from 0 to 360 degrees east, as the Gazetteer gives them.
