Dawson D (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Dawson

Named after Bernhard Hildebrandt Dawson - Argentinean astronomer (1890-1960).

Dawson is a lunar impact crater that lies on the southern hemisphere on the far side. It lies across a crater triplet: the southeast rim is intruding into the crater Alekhin; the northwest rim also intrudes into the larger satellite crater Dawson V, and the northeast rim is attached to the comparably sized Dawson D. To the south of this formation is the large crater Zeeman. West is the crater Crommelin, and to the north lies Fizeau. Dawson is a young formation that lies in the midst of a field of ancient, heavily eroded craters. (wikipedia entry)
