Adams Crater:
According to Wikipedia, the Adams crater is a lunar impact crater that is located in the rugged southeastern section of the Moon, near the lunar limb. It lies just to the southwest of the crater Legendre. To the northwest are the craters Hase and Petavius, and to the southwest is Furnerius. To the southwest of Adams is a system of rilles designated the Rimae Hase. The longest of these rilles follows a course to the southeast.
The rim of Adams is generally circular in form, but somewhat worn by small impact craters. There is a slight notched protrusion at the southern end of the wall. The floor is undistinguished, with no significant protrusions, and only minor craterlets.
Adams Statue:
The statue of John Adams is located in the Lakeview Memorial Park, which is a cemetery, high in the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains, overlooking the Great Salt Lake. This statue of John Adams is part of a monument that also includes statues of Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. It is titled, "Appeal to Divine Providence", and depicts our founding fathers in prayer as they work to build a new nation in the midst of revolution..
