Carroll is a lunar impact crater. It was unofficially named on April 6, 2026, by the crew of the Artemis II mission during their flyby of the Moon, after Commander Reid Wiseman's wife Carroll Taylor-Wiseman, who died in 2020.
Naming
The crater was designated to honor Carroll Taylor-Wiseman, the deceased wife of Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman. Wiseman was married to Carroll until her death from cancer in 2020. It was named just moments after the crew set the record for the farthest distance from Earth ever traveled by humans. The crater name proposal is set to be submitted to the International Astronomical Union.
Location The crater is near the boundary between the Moon's near and far sides, allowing it to be seen from Earth at times.
