Dunér (Moon)

Named after Nils Christofer Dunér - Swedish astronomer (1839-1914).

Dunér is an old lunar crater that is located in the northern hemisphere on the far side. It lies to the southeast of the crater Chernyshev, and west-southwest of the Perkin–Debye crater pair. This crater has been heavily battered by multiple small impacts, leaving a barely surviving outer rim that forms little more than a circular rise in the surface. The interior is in similar condition, and small craters cover many parts of the crater. (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.
