Kibal'chich (Moon)

Named after Nikolaj Ivanovich Kibal'chich - Russian rocketry scientist (1853-1881).

Kibal'chich is a crater. It lies to the northeast of the large walled plain Korolev, and is attached to the southeastern outer rim of the crater Tsander. The rim is slightly eroded, and the shared border with Tsander has produced a straightened rim along the northwest side. But the edge remains well-defined and the inner walls display some terrace-like shelves. (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.
