Sharonov (Mars)

Named after Vsevolod V. Sharonov - Russian astronomer (1901-1964).

Sharonov is situated within the outflow channel system Kasei Valles, whose flows were divided into two main branches that bracket the crater. (wikipedia entry)

A crater is a circular depression likely created by an impact event. On Mars large craters are named after deceased scientists, writers and others who have contributed to the lore of Mars. Small creaters (less than 60km) are named after small towns and villages.
