Heyrovsky (Moon)

Named after Jaroslav Heyrovsky - Czechoslovakian chemist (1890-1967).

Heyrovsky is a small lunar impact crater on the far side. This crater lies just beyond the southwestern limb, in an area of the surface that is sometimes brought into view of the Earth during periods of favorable libration and illumination by sunlight. It lies within the southern part of the wide skirt of ejecta that surrounds the Mare Imbrium impact basin. This is a circular crater formation with an interior that is shaped like a bowl. (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.
