Caventou is a tiny lunar impact crater located in the western part of the Mare Imbrium. It is a circular, cup-shaped formation surrounded by the lunar mare. Prior to being renamed by the IAU in 1976,[1] it had the designation La Hire D, being associated with the mountain Mons La Hire to the southeast. However, the name Caventou appeared on some maps as early as 1974.
