Von Zeipel J (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Von Zeipel

Named after Edvard Hugo Von Zeipel - Swedish astronomer (1873-1959).

Von Zeipel is a lunar impact crater. It partly overlies the eastern rim of the larger crater Fowler, and intrudes into the interior floor. To the north is the crater Esnault-Pelterie, and due south lies Klute. This is an eroded crater formation, particularly along the western and southwestern sides. (wikipedia entry)
