Florensky (Moon)

Named after Kirill Pavlovich Florensky - Soviet geologist (1915-1982).

Florensky is a lunar crater that is attached to the northeastern rim of the larger crater Vernadskiy. It is located on the far side and cannot be directly seen from the Earth. The rim of this crater has been heavily eroded and it forms an irregular ring about the uneven 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.
