Satellite Feature of Curie

Named after Pierre Curie - French physicist, chemist; Nobel laureate (1859-1906).

Impact craters generally have a rim with ejecta around them, in contrast volcanic craters usually do not have a rim or ejecta deposits. As craters get larger they usually have a central peak. The peak is caused by a rebound of the crater floor following the impact. (wikipedia entry)
