Stetson (Moon)

Named after Harlan True Stetson - American astronomer, geophysicist (1885-1964).

Stetson is the remains of a crater on the far side. The northeastern part of the rim has been overlain by the larger crater Blackett. Lying across the eastern rim is a double-crater formation consisting of the satellites Stetson E and Stetson G. There are also small craters along the southeast and northwestern rims. Only the portion of the rim from the west-northwest counter-clockwise to the south is still intact. (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.
