Finsch (Moon)

Named after Otto Friedrich Hermann Finsch - German zoologist (1839-1917).

Finsch is a small lunar crater in the mid-part of Mare Serenitatis that has been almost completely covered by the mare, forming a ghost crater in the lava plain. It is located to the south-southeast of the crater Sarabhai and northeast of Bessel. (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.
