Leeuwenhoek (Moon)

Named after Antony van Leeuwenhoek - Dutch microscopist (1632-1723).

Leeuwenhoek is a lunar impact crater that lies in the Moon's southern hemisphere, on the far side from the Earth. It is located to the east of the crater Birkeland and the unusual double crater Van de Graaff. To the northeast is Orlov and to the south is the large walled plain Leibnitz. The outer rim is worn and eroded, forming an irregular mountainous ring about the level 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.
