Santos-Dumont (Moon)

Named after Alberto Santos-Dumont - Brazilian aeronautical engineer (1873-1932).

Santos-Dumont is a small lunar impact crater that lies in the northern end of the Montes Apenninus range at the eastern edge of the Mare Imbrium. This feature was previously designated Hadley B prior to being given a name by the IAU. It is located about 30 kilometers to the northeast of Mons Hadley, a mountain massif. This crater is a circular, bowl-shaped formation that is situated atop a ridge in the Montes Apenninus. (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.
