Benedict (Moon)

Named after Francis Gano Benedict - American chemist, physiologist (1870-1957).

Benedict is a small, bowl-shaped crater that lies on the floor of the walled basin Mendeleev. It is located near the lunar equator on the far side from the Earth. This crater is circular in shape, with little appearance of wear. At the midpoint of the sloping inner walls is a small central floor. (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.
