Dante G (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Dante

Named after Alighieri Dante - Italian poet (1265-1321).

Dante is a lunar crater on the far side. It lies in the northern hemisphere exactly opposite the prime meridian facing the Earth. The nearest craters of note are Larmor to the north and Morse to the southeast. To the southwest is the oddly shaped Buys-Ballot. (wikipedia entry)
