Goddard A (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Goddard

Named after Robert Hutchings Goddard - American rocketry scientist (1882-1945).

Goddard is a lunar crater that is located along the eastern limb , and so is visible from the edge from Earth. It is best viewed during favorable librations when the orientation brings it further into sight. The crater is located in the Mare Marginis, to the northeast of the prominent crater Neper. Ibn Yunus, a crater remnant, is attached to the southeastern rim, and is partly overlaid by Goddard. (wikipedia entry)
