Auzout (Moon)

Named after Adrien Auzout - French astronomer, physicist (1622-1691).

Auzout is a lunar impact crater that is located to the southeast of the Mare Crisium, near the eastern limb. Due to foreshortening this crater appears quite oval from Earth, but is actually circular in form. Attached to the southern rim is the smaller crater van Albada. To the east-northeast is the large Condorcet. (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.
