Brisbane (Moon)

Named after Sir Thomas Makdougall Brisbane - Scottish astronomer (1773-1860).

Brisbane is a lunar crater that is located in the southeastern part , to the south of the crater Peirescius. To the northwest lie the craters Vega and Reimarus, and farther to the east is the walled plain Lyot. Due to its proximity to the limb, foreshortening of this crater causes it to appear somewhat elliptical in shape, even though it is actually circular. This is an old, eroded crater with features that have become somewhat softened and rounded due to a history of subsequent minor impacts. (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.
