Goodacre is a lunar impact crater. It is located in the rugged southern highlands on the Moon's near side, and is attached to the north-northeastern part of the exterior of Gemma Frisius, a heavily worn and much larger formation. About two crater diameters to the north of Goodacre lies Pontanus.
The crater is named after British selenographer Walter Goodacre.[1]
The outer rim of this crater formation has become eroded by smaller impacts, and is heavily damaged along the southern side. The somewhat distorted satellite crater Goodacre G lies across the co-joined rims of Goodacre and Gemma Frisius. The interior floor has a small central rise and there is a small crater near the northern inner wall. A trace of ray material from Tycho lies along the southwest rim and forms a wispy line that crosses the central peak.
