Frederick S. Brackett

Brackett is a small lunar impact crater that lies near the southeast edge of Mare Serenitatis. The crater has been covered by lava flow, leaving only a ring-shaped trace in the surrounding lunar mare. This crater is best observed under oblique illumination, as it is otherwise difficult to find. The southern rim is almost contacting a rille system named the Rimae Plinius.
