Dalton (Moon)

Named after John Dalton - British chemist, physicist (1766-1844).

Dalton is a lunar impact crater that is located near the western limb 's near side. It is attached to the eastern rim of the walled plain Einstein, with Balboa lying just to the north and Vasco da Gama due south. The rim of this crater is not heavily eroded, and the interior walls are terraced. The interior floor has a system of rilles that are generally concentric with the inner wall. (wikipedia entry)

A crater is a circular depression likely created by an impact event. On the Moon they are named after deceased scientists, polar explorers, astronauts or cosmonauts.
