Ramsden (Moon)

Named after Jesse Ramsden - British instrument maker (1735-1800).

Ramsden is a lunar impact crater located on the western stretch of the Palus Epidemiarum. To the east-southeast is the crater Capuanus, and to the north lies Dunthorne. The floor of the crater has been flooded with lava, and contains several small impact craters. The rim is somewhat oval and irregular in outline, with depressions at the north and south walls. (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.
