Olcott M (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Olcott

Named after William Tyler Olcott - American astronomer (1873-1936).

Olcott is a fresh crater on the far side. It lies to the south-southeast of the craters Seyfert and Polzunov, and to the north of Kostinskiy. This crater lacks any significant appearance of erosion from subsequent impacts, and its features are well-defined. The rim edge is generally circular, with a slight outward bulge to the northeast and a larger bulge to the south. (wikipedia entry)
