Bragg P (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Bragg

Named after Sir William Henry Bragg - Australian physicist; Nobel laureate (1862-1942).

Bragg is an ancient lunar crater on the far side , just beyond the northwest limb. This formation has been heavily eroded and reshaped by subsequent impacts, leaving an irregular depression in the surface. The most intact portion of the rim is along the western face, while the northern and eastern rim has been nearly worn away and is overlaid by several smaller craters. The most notable of these is Bragg H, which lies across the east-southeastern rim. (wikipedia entry)
