Gernsback J (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Gernsback

Named after Hugo Gernsback - American writer (1884-1967).

Gernsback is a lunar crater on the far side. It is located in the northeastern part of the uneven Mare Australe, just behind the southeastern limb. During periods of favorable libration this feature can be brought into view of the Earth, but it is seen from the side and not much detail can be observed. It is located about a crater diameter north of the larger crater Lamb, and southwest of Parkhurst. (wikipedia entry)
