Bandfield is a tiny lunar impact crater that is located nearly on the border of the near side and far side of the Moon. It lies close to the west rim of the crater Hirayama, near Hume and Swasey, on the southwest edge of Mare Smythii. Only a kilometer in diameter, this crater has a bright system of rays. Hence it is young, being dated to the Copernican age of the lunar geologic timescale. It is one of over 2,000 lunar cold spots.
