Fizeau (Moon)

Named after Armand-Hippolyte-Louis Fizeau - French physicist (1819-1896).

Fizeau is a prominent lunar impact crater on the far side , in the southern hemisphere. Nearby craters of note include Minkowski to the west-northwest, and Eijkman to the southwest. The inner wall of the crater rim is multiply terraced in the northern half, while the southern rim has a shear inner surface leading down to slumped deposits on the crater floor. There is a small but prominent crater lying across the southwest rim, with an inner surface that forms terraced steps covering most of the interior. (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.
