Satellite Feature of Lansberg

Named after Philippe van Lansberg - Belgian astronomer (1561-1632).

Lansberg is a lunar impact crater on the Mare Insularum. It can be located by following a line south-southwest from Copernicus to Reinhold, then southwest to Lansberg. The crater has a high rim and a central mountain. There are terraces along the inner walls, and the tops have slumped to produce a sharp edge. (wikipedia entry)
