Haworth is an

According to a 2015 study by Tye et al., Haworth was formed sometime during the Pre-Nectarian period, meaning it is at least 3.9 Ga (billion years) old.^[3]

Physical features

Due to Haworth's position near the lunar south pole, large amounts of the crater are permanently shadowed regions. These regions are very cold; many are believed to never reach temperatures above 40 Kelvin, making Haworth colder than nearby craters such as Shackleton and Faustini.^[4] Haworth and its surrounding low-lying areas are home to frost, which may be partly caused by these particularly low temperatures.^[5]
