Evans Q (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Evans

Named after Sir Arthur Evans - British archaeologist (1851-1941).

Evans is the remnant of a lunar crater on the far side. It lies to the south-southwest of the immense walled plain Hertzsprung, and is located within that impact basin's broad skirt of ejecta. This material has overflowed the northern rim and the northern part of the interior floor. The southern rim is not as heavily damaged, although it is irregular, eroded, and overlain by a pair of small craterlets. (wikipedia entry)
