Satellite Feature of Schomberger

Named after Georg Schomberger - Austrian astronomer, mathematician (1597-1645).

Schomberger is a prominent lunar impact crater that lies in the southern part , in the area near the limb. It is located to the southwest of the crater Boguslawsky, and southeast of Simpelius. The young satellite crater Schomberger A is nearly attached to the southern rim, and the much-aged Schomberger C lies just off the western rim. This is a well-defined crater with sharp features that have not been significantly worn down by minor impacts. (wikipedia entry)
