Donna (Moon)

Italian female name.

Donna is a tiny lunar crater on the near side. It is located in the eastern half of the Mare Tranquillitatis, at the summit of the lunar dome Omega Cauchy. As such domes are thought to be volcanic in nature, it appears likely that this crater was created by an eruption. This is in contrast to most lunar craters, which are now believed to be created by impacts. (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.
