Feature on the moon
Brown is a lunar impact crater that is located in the southeast part of the Moon , to the southwest of the prominent ray crater Tycho . Northwest of Brown is the crater Wilhelm , and to the west is Montanari . This crater was named after Ernest William Brown , and is distinct from crater D. Brown, a satellite crater of the Apollo crater.
The rim of Brown is mis-shapen from a typical circular formation, most notably due to the intrusion of the satellite crater Brown E into the southeast of the formation. The northern rim is polygonal in shape, with a flattened northern rim. There is also a small gap in the western rim which protrudes to the west.
Satellite craters
[ edit ]
There are eight satellite craters of Brown that are recognized by the International Astronomical Union . The official designation of these features was approved in 2006.
