text: # Swann (crater)
  
  Swann is a lunar impact crater that is located on the far side of the Moon, to the southeast of the prominent crater Compton. This is a heavily worn and battered formation that is now scarcely recognizable as a crater. The terrain along the rim and the interior resembles the surrounding surface, being marked by secondary craters from Compton. To the north and northeast of Swann are two younger, bowl-shaped craters, Swann A and Swann C, with sharp-edged rims that have not received significantly wear.
