Dembowski (Moon)

Named after Baron Ercole Dembowski - Italian astronomer (1815-1881).

Dembowski is a lunar crater located to the southeast of the Sinus Medii. To the east are the craters Agrippa and Godin, and to the southwest is Rhaeticus. The floor is covered by lava flow that has eradicated the eastern half of the rim, leaving only a slight rise in the surface where the outer wall once lay. The surviving western half of the rim is polygonal in shape, and the ends are broken; forming rises in the surface. (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.
