Yeats (Mercury)

Named after William Butler Yeats - Irish poet and dramatist (1865-1939).

Yeats is an impact crater on the planet Mercury, 100 kilometers in diameter. It is bordered by a smaller, unnamed crater to the northwest. On the otherwise featureless crater floor is a small, central mountain. (wikipedia entry)

A crater is a circular depression likely created by an impact event. On Mercury they are named after deceased artists, musicians, painters, and authors who have made outstanding or fundamental contributions to their field and have been recognized as art historically significant figures for more than 50 years.
