Babbar Patera is a patera, or a complex crater with scalloped edges, on Jupiter's moon Io. It is about 86 kilometers in diameter and is located at Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found.. It is named after a Sumerian sun god, and its name was approved by the International Astronomical Union in 1979.[1][2] Some scarps near Babbar Patera may represent faults.[3] Immediately south of Babbar Patera is the plateau Lyrcea Planum, and further south is Svarog Patera. To the east is the mountain Egypt Mons.[4]
