Al-Bakri (Moon)

Named after Abū Ubayd Abdallāh Ibn abd al-Azīz Ibn Muhammad Al-Bakri - Spanish-Arab geographer (1010-1094).

Al-Bakri is a small lunar crater on the northwest edge of Mare Tranquillitatis. It is just south of the eastern arm of the Montes Haemus that borders the Mare Serenitatis to the north. To the east-northeast is the prominent crater Plinius. South of the crater are the rilles of the Rimae Maclear. (wikipedia entry)

A crater is a circular depression likely created by an impact event. On the Moon they are named after deceased scientists, polar explorers, astronauts or cosmonauts.
