Eponym Diego Rivera

Rivera is a crater on Mercury. It has a diameter of 40 kilometers. Its name was suggested by Mexican residents Ricardo Martinez and Arturo Gutierrez, and American residents Rebecca Hare and José Martinez, in a naming contest which was eventually adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) on 2015.[1] Rivera is named for the Mexican poet Diego Rivera.[2] The craters Carolan, Enheduanna, Karsh, and Kulthum were also named as part of the contest.

Rivera lies within the vast plain of Borealis Planitia.
