Template:Short description Template:Infobox Lunar crater
Humason is a tiny lunar impact crater located in the Oceanus Procellarum. This is a cup-shaped crater with an outer rim that rises slightly above the surrounding lunar mare. To the west is a low system of mare wrinkle ridges named the Dorsa Whiston that wind southwards towards Montes Agricola.
This crater was previously identified as Lichtenberg G before being renamed by the IAU in 1973.<ref>Humason, Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature, International Astronomical Union (IAU) Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature (WGPSN)</ref> The crater Lichtenberg itself lies over 100 kilometers to the west.
