Satellite Feature of Glaisher

Named after James Glaisher - British meteorologist (1809-1903).

Glaisher is a lunar impact crater that is located in the region of terrain that forms the southwest border of Mare Crisium. It lies to the southwest of the lava-flooded crater Yerkes, and west-northwest of the Greaves–Lick crater pair. It is surrounded by a ring of satellite craters of various dimensions, the larger companions generally being arranged to the south. This crater is circular, with a bowl-shaped interior and a small floor at the midpoint. (wikipedia entry)
