Numerov (Moon)

Named after Boris Vasilievich Numerov - Soviet astronomer (1891-1941).

Numerov is a lunar impact crater that is located , deep in the southern hemisphere. It is attached to the larger and younger crater Antoniadi to the west, and the outer rampart of Antoniadi overlies the inner wall and part of the western interior floor. To the east-southeast is the larger walled plain Zeeman, and to the east-northeast is the old crater Crommelin. The rim and inner wall has undergone considerable erosion, and much of the eastern side is pock-marked by small craterlets. (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.
