Santbech R (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Santbech

Named after Daniel Santbech Noviomagus - Dutch mathematician, astronomer (unkn-fl. 1561).

Santbech is a lunar impact crater that is located to the southeast of Mare Nectaris. About one crater diameter to the east-northeast is the smaller Monge. The terrain around the crater, although rugged in places, has been flooded by lava and so has a low albedo and a flat surface. (wikipedia entry)
