McNally Y (Moon)

Satellite Feature of McNally

Named after Paul Aloysius McNally - American astronomer (1890-1955).

McNally is a crater that is located to the north-northwest of the much larger crater Fersman, on the far side of Moon. This is a worn crater with a rounded rim edge that is marked by many tiny impacts. Smaller, cup-shaped impacts cut through the rim along the southeastern and northern edges. There is a small craterlet along the base of the southeastern inner wall. (wikipedia entry)
