Verne (Moon)

Latin male name.

Verne is located to the west-southwest of the Mare Ingenii, one of the few lunar mares on the far side. To the northwest is the large walled plain Pavlov. Most of the interior floor of this crater has been flooded with basaltic lava, leaving a dark, low-albedo surface that is level and flat. (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.
