Scobee (Moon)

Named after Francis Richard "Dick" Scobee - member of the Challenger crew (1939-1986).

Scobee is a lunar impact crater that lies within the northeastern part of the huge walled plain Apollo, just outside the inner mountain ring of that feature. Scobee is located due south of the crater Barringer, itself along the edge of the outer rim. Attached to the southwestern outer rim is the smaller Smith. This is a worn and eroded crater formation. (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.
