Abbot (Moon)

Named after Charles Greeley Abbot - American astrophysicist (1872-1973).

Abbot is a small lunar impact crater that lies on the rugged ground. It is a circular crater with a cup-shaped interior. The inner walls slope downward to the midpoint, and no impacts of significant mark the interior or the rim. It was designated Apollonius K before being given its name by the IAU. (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.
