Comment: Doesn't look like this crater is fit for a Wikipedia article in the first place. Remember to make sure subjects you write about pass the notability guidelines before starting drafts. AlphaBetaGamma (Talk/report any mistakes here) 12:22, 26 April 2025 (UTC)
Anat is an impact crater on Ganymede, Jupiter's largest moon..[1]
Reference point of Ganymede's longitudes
[edit]This crater of 2.9 km in diameter is the reference point for measuring longitude on Ganymede. By convention, Anat is at 128 degrees longitude. Anat is positioned at 128° west longitude. In cartography, this corresponds to the prime meridian reference system, where longitudes are measured relative to 0° longitude on a celestial body.
Anat is thus located at 128 degrees longitude west of the prime meridian which, in cartography, serves as a reference for longitude, i.e. 0° longitude, on the scale of a celestial body.
Ganymede's rotation is synchronous as it orbits Jupiter. This first meridian, the origin of longitudes (0°) corresponds to the mean position of the point on the face of Ganymede always exposed to Jupiter[2]
Etymology
[edit]it is named after Anat, the Assyro-Babylonian goddess of dew.[1]
