Peek (Moon)

Named after Bertrand Meigh Peek - British astronomer (1891-1965).

Peek is a small lunar impact crater that is located in the northern part of the Mare Smythii near the eastern limb. This part of the lunar surface is subject to the effects of libration, and the crater can be hidden from sight during an unfavorable libration. Even when visible, however, the crater is seen almost edge-on, making it difficult to see much detail from the Earth. Due to foreshortening the crater appears close to Schubert, even though the two are about 60 km apart. (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.
