Amici (Moon)

Named after Giovanni Battista Amici - Italian astronomer, optician (1786-1863).

Amici is a lunar impact crater on the rugged far side. The rim has been eroded and distorted by subsequent impacts, so that is now has a somewhat polygonal shape. It has a valley at the southern end that extends toward the satellite crater Amici M. The interior floor has no notable impact formations, but is pock-marked by tiny craterlets. (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.
