de Lalande (Venus)

Named after Marie-Jeanne Lalande - French astronomer (1768-1832).

De Lalande is a multiring impact crater on Venus. It has a diameter of 21.6 km and wall width of 5.6 km. The crater has an outer rim but no peak and is in close proximity to the volcano Gula Mons. (wikipedia entry)

A crater is a circular depression likely created by an impact event. On Venus they are named after deceased women who have made outstanding or fundamental contributions to their field (if over 20 km). If smaller common female first names are used.
