Satellite Feature of King

Named after Arthur Scott King - American physicist (1876-1957) and Edward Skinner King - American astronomer (1861-1931).

King is a prominent lunar impact crater on the far side , and can not be viewed directly from Earth. It forms a pair with Ibn Firnas, which is only slightly larger and is attached to the northeast rim. To the northwest is the crater Lobachevskiy, and Guyot is located an equal distance to the north-northwest. The outer rim is roughly circular but with a slightly irregular appearance, particularly at the northern end. (wikipedia entry)
