Bessel H (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Bessel

Named after Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel - German astronomer (1784-1846).

Bessel is a small lunar crater that is located in the southern half of the Mare Serenitatis. Despite its small size, this is the largest crater to lie entirely within the mare. It lies to the north-northeast of the crater Menelaus. This crater is circular and bowl-shaped with a rim that has a higher albedo than the floor or the surrounding mare. (wikipedia entry)
