Kuo Shou Ching (Moon)

Chinese astronomer (1231-1316).

Kuo Shou Ching is a small lunar impact crater that is located in the northwestern part of the walled plain Hertzsprung, on the far side. The rim edge is well-defined and not noticeably eroded. The inner walls are simple slopes that descend to the interior floor. (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.
