Timiryazev W (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Timiryazev

Named after Kliment Arkadievich Timiryazev - Russian botanist, physiologist (1843-1920).

Timiryazev is a lunar impact crater that is located just to the east of the huge walled plain Korolev, on the far side. It lies to the west-northwest of the crater Sechenov and north-northeast of Mechnikov. This is a circular crater formation with a slightly eroded outer rim and interior, and an interior floor that is about half the diameter of the crater. No craters of note lie across the crater edges or insides, although the rim is slightly damaged along the southern face. (wikipedia entry)
