Boguslawsky J (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Boguslawsky

Named after Palm Heinrich Ludwig von Boguslawsky - German astronomer (1789-1851).

Boguslawsky is a lunar impact crater that is located near the southern lunar limb. It lies to the northwest of the slightly larger crater Demonax, and southwest of the concentric crater Boussingault. Due to its location, this crater appears very oblong in shape because of foreshortening. The floor of this crater is flooded and featureless. (wikipedia entry)
