Saha W (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Saha

Named after Meghnad Saha - Indian astrophysicist (1893-1956).

Saha is a lunar impact crater , behind the eastern limb as seen from the Earth. It lies less than one crater diameter due east of the similar-sized Wyld, and to the north-northwest of the large walled plain Pasteur. This crater has been worn and damaged by subsequent impacts, including the satellite crater Saha W which lies across the northwest rim and inner wall. The inner sides still display some terrace-like shelf structures, but these have become worn and have lost definition. (wikipedia entry)
