Milankovič (Martian crater)

Eponym
  
Milutin Milanković, a Serbian geophysicist and astrophysicist who lived from 1879 to 1958

Milankovič is a crater in the Diacria quadrangle of Mars, having a diameter of 118.4 km. It is located at 54.7° north latitude and 146.7° west longitude. The crater is easy to see on Mars photographs because it lies north of Olympus Mons and sits by itself in the flat plain of Vastitas Borealis.

It is named after Milutin Milanković (1879–1958), a Serbian geophysicist and astrophysicist.
