Becquerel (Moon)

Named after Antoine-Henri Becquerel - French physicist; Nobel laureate (1852-1908).

Becquerel is a 167 km-diameter crater in Arabia Terra in Oxia Palus quadrangle. The layers appear to be only a few meters thick and show little variations in thickness. Recent studies with HiRISE have determined the exact thickness of the layers. (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.
