Homer (Mercury)

Named after Homer - Greek epic poet (8th or 9th century B.C.).

Homer is a crater on Mercury. Deposits of material in and around this crater suggest the possibility of explosive volcanic eruptions at some point in the planet's history. (wikipedia entry)

A crater is a circular depression likely created by an impact event. On Mercury they are named after deceased artists, musicians, painters, and authors who have made outstanding or fundamental contributions to their field and have been recognized as art historically significant figures for more than 50 years.
