Bernoulli is an impact crater in the northeast quadrant of the moon . It is south of Messala crater and east of Geminus .
The edge of Bernoulli is almost circular apart from several slight bulges along the circumference. On the southern wall of the crater there is a depression that leads to a triangular bulge on the crater rim. The crater rim is highest on the east side and rises there up to 4000 meters. A central peak rises in the center of the crater floor.
