Kircher (Moon)

Named after Athanasius Kircher - German humanitarian (1601-1680).

Kircher is a lunar crater that is located in the south-southwestern part , near the southern limb. In this position the crater appears foreshortened when viewed from the Earth. It is less than one crater diameter due south of the crater Bettinus, and is nearly attached to Wilson along the south-southeast rim. This crater is distinctive for an interior floor that is level and nearly featureless. (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.
