Ginzel (Moon)

Named after Friedrich Karl Ginzel - Austrian astronomer (1850-1926).

Ginzel is a lunar crater on the far side , just beyond the eastern limb. To the north-northeast is the crater Popov, and Dreyer lies due south. Much of the rim and interior have been flooded, leaving only a faint trace of the rim in the otherwise level surface. (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.
