Paraskevopoulos (Moon)

Named after John Stefanos Paraskevopoulos - Greek-American astronomer (1889-1951).

Paraskevopoulos is an old lunar crater on the far side , in the higher northern latitudes. It lies just to the southwest of the younger and somewhat larger crater Carnot. To the southwest is the smaller crater Stoletov, and to the southeast lies Fowler. This is a well-eroded crater formation, with a rounded and uneven rim edge. (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.
