Earthlight (Moon)

Astronaut-named feature, Apollo 15 site.

Earthlight is a feature on Earth's Moon, a crater in the Hadley–Apennine region. Astronauts David Scott and James Irwin drove past it on their rover it in 1971, on the Apollo 15 mission, during EVA 2. Earthlight is located about 1.5 km east of Hadley Rille, less than 1 km north of the larger Dune crater, and about 2 km south of the Apollo 15 landing site itself. The crater is subdued and not obvious on the surface, and the astronauts did not stop to observe it. (wikipedia entry)

A landing site name is a lunar feature at or near Apollo landing sites.
