Sor Juana is a crater on Mercury. Its name was adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 1979, and is named for the Mexican writer and poet Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz.[1]
Sor Juana is a relatively young crater as its floor is covered with impact melt,[2] but it does not have a ray system such as that of Hokusai or Kuiper.
Sor Juana lies east of Victoria Rupes.
