Fryxell (Moon)

Named after Roald Hilding Fryxell - American geologist (1934-1974).

Fryxell is a small lunar crater that lies amidst the western inner ring of the Montes Rook. This crater is located , at the extreme edge of the region of the surface sometimes brought into view of the Earth due to libration. Even under rare conditions of favorable lighting and libration, this area would only be seen from the side amidst a rugged range of mountains. Thus this crater is best observed from orbit. (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.
