Van den Bergh (crater)

Van den Bergh is an eroded lunar impact crater that is located on the far side of the Moon.

Since its formation, this crater has been heavily worn by subsequent impacts until its features have become softened and rounded.

The satellite crater Van den Bergh M lies across the southern rim, and there is a depression from an old impact in the northwestern part of the interior floor.

The Van den Bergh crater is named after George van den Bergh, a prominent Dutch law professor and amateur astronomer.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Van den Bergh.
