Brunner L (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Brunner

Named after William Otto Brunner - Swiss astronomer (1878-1958).

Brunner is a lunar impact crater that is located along the eastern limb , to the southeast of the Mare Smythii. At this location the crater is viewed from the edge, and so it is not possible to see much detail from the Earth. The visibility of this formation is also affected by libration. The crater lies to the southwest of the walled plain Hirayama, and to the east of the elongated crater Houtermans. (wikipedia entry)
