Brewster (crater)

Brewster is a small lunar impact crater in the northern fringes of Sinus Amoris. It lies to the southwest of the larger crater Römer. To the southeast of Brewster is the similar-sized Franck. This crater is cup-shaped and symmetrical, with no overlapping craters of note. A low ridge is attached to the northern rim. The crater interior has a relatively high interior albedo compared to the surrounding terrain. (It was named after the Scottish scientist, Sir David Brewster.)
