Golovin (Moon)

Named after Nicholas Erasmus Golovin - American rocketry scientist (1912-1969).

Golovin is a lunar impact crater that is located to the southeast of the walled plain Campbell. It lies in the northern hemisphere , and cannot be seen directly from the Earth. Just two crater diameters to the southwest is the larger crater Appleton, and to the north is Langevin. The nearly circular rim is not markedly eroded, and is not overlaid by any impacts of note. (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.
