Hogg is a lunar crater on the Moon's far side, relative to the Earth. It lies less than a crater diameter to the south-southwest of the somewhat larger Kiddinu crater. This is an old, worn feature with an outer rim that has been eroded to the point where it just forms a rounded crest about the interior. Small craterlets lie along the southern and western rim. The interior has some slight clefts in the surface and a low, crater-like depression in the southern half.
Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Hogg crater.
