Henry Frères R (Moon)

Satellite Feature of Henry Frères

Named after Prosper Henry Frères - French astronomer (1849-1903) and Paul Henry Frères - French astronomer (1848-1905).

Henry Frères is a lunar impact crater that is located in the southwestern part of the near side. It lies just to the west-northwest of the crater Henry, a similar diameter feature. To the west-southwest is the much larger crater Byrgius. Rays from the satellite crater Byrgius A lie across the floor of this formation, forming a wispy trace from west to east. (wikipedia entry)
