Pauli (Moon)

Named after Wolfgang Pauli - Austrian-American physicist; Nobel laureate (1900-1958).

Pauli is a lunar impact crater that is located. It lies about halfway. This crater has a well-defined outer rim that is only mildly worn by impact erosion. A small crater lies on the inner side along the south, and another on the opposite face of the crater to the north. (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.
