Ingalls is an old impact crater on the back of the moon and therefore can not be directly observed from Earth . It is north-northwest of Mach crater and equidistant west of Joule .
The Ingalls formation was badly damaged by later impacts, so that little more than an irregularly shaped depression in the lunar surface remains of it. The outer rim of the crater is rounded and pitted from small impact marks. Apart from a few tiny craters, the crater floor has no special features. Faint traces of a radiation system run over the northern edge of Ingalls , which emanates from Jackson Crater some distance to the west-southwest .
