Von Kármán (Moon)

Named after Theodore Kármán - Hungarian-American aeronautical scientist (1881-1963).

Von Kármán is a lunar crater that is located in the southern hemisphere on the far side. The northern third of this formation is overlain by the rim and outer rampart of the walled plain Leibnitz, forming a deep indentation in the formation. The remainder of the outer wall is roughly circular in shape, although it is irregular and heavily worn by subsequent impacts. The interior has been subjected to flooding by lava flows after the original crater formed, leaving the southern portion of the floor nearly 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.
