Behaim (Moon)

Named after Martin Behaim - German navigator, cartographer (1459-1507).

Behaim is a lunar impact crater that is located near the eastern limb , just to the south of the crater Ansgarius. To the south is the crater Hecataeus, and to the east-southeast is Gibbs. The inner walls along the rim still displays traces of old, worn terraces. The rim has received a negligible amount of wear from subsequent bombardment, but does not form a circular shape due to an inward bulge along the northern wall. (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.
