Andersson (Moon)

Named after Leif Erland Andersson - American astronomer (1943-1979).

Andersson is a lunar impact crater that lies in the southern hemisphere on the far side. It is located just beyond the southwestern limb of the visible Moon in a location that can be viewed from the side during a favorable libration. The nearest crater of note is Guthnick to the north-northeast. Andersson is bowl-shaped, with a small central floor and no significant erosion of the rim. (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.
