Satellite Feature of Sylvester

Named after James Joseph Sylvester - British mathematician (1814-1897).

Sylvester is a lunar impact crater that is located near the north pole , along the northern limb in the libration zone. It lies just to the south-southeast of the craters Grignard and Hermite; the latter of which is within one crater diameter of the pole. South is Pascal. Due to its location, Sylvester receives sunlight at only a low angle. (wikipedia entry)
