Gauricus J (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Gauricus

Named after Gaurico, Luca Gauricus - Italian astronomer (1476-1558).

Gauricus is a lunar crater that is located in the rugged southern part 's near side. Nearly attached to the western rim is the heavily eroded crater Wurzelbauer, and to the north-northwest lies Pitatus. The rim of this crater has become worn and eroded by subsequent impacts, resulting in a round-shouldered outer wall that is pock-marked by a number of lesser craters. The most notable of these are Gauricus B and Gauricus D along the southern rim and Gauricus G intrudes into the eastern rim. (wikipedia entry)
