Moseley crater (on the Moon)

Moseley Crater is a lunar impact crater located on the Moon's surface, named after the British physicist Henry Moseley. It's about 95 kilometers in diameter and is characterized by its well-defined, steep walls and a flatter interior, typical of craters formed by asteroid impacts. Like other craters, it provides scientists with valuable insights into the Moon's geological history, including the age and composition of its surface materials. Study of such craters helps us understand the processes that shaped not only the Moon but also terrestrial bodies in our solar system.
