Delporte (Moon)

Named after Eugène Joseph Delporte - Belgian astronomer (1882-1955).

Delporte is a lunar impact crater. The rim of this crater is only marginally worn, although it is not quite circular and the edge is somewhat uneven. There is a shelf running along the northern inner wall. (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.
