One name of a crater on the moon is Tycho. Tycho Crater is a prominent lunar impact crater with a diameter of about 85 kilometers and is located in the southern highlands of the moon. It is easily recognizable due to its bright rays that extend across the lunar surface.
Saturn's moon with the crater Herschel is called Mimas. Mimas is one of Saturn's innermost moons and is known for its large Herschel crater, which gives it a distinctive "Death Star" appearance.
The South Pole-Aitken basin (not "Aitken crater") on the far side of the moon, at 1,600 miles across, is not only the largest known impact crater on the moon but one of the largest in the solar system. It is also believed to be the moon's oldest and deepest (over 8 miles deep).
Stöfler is one, named for Johannes Stöffler.
Just check Wikipedia and search list of craters or search moon 's craters on Google and it will bring you to the web site that has all of the names and sizes of the moon's craters.

The oldest crater found on the moon is thought to be the South Pole-Aitken basin, which is estimated to be around 4 billion years old. It is one of the largest and deepest impact craters in the solar system, spanning over 2,500 kilometers in diameter.
Yes, Tycho Brahe has a crater on the Moon named after him called "Tycho Crater." Additionally, the element "hafnium" was named after the Latin name for Copenhagen, where Tycho Brahe's observatory was located.
When a meteorite impact causes a pit or depression in the ground, that is called a crater.
The material that stacks around the edge of an impact crater on the Moon is called "crater rim ejecta" or simply "ejecta." This material is composed of debris that is ejected outward during the impact event and can form a raised rim around the crater. The thickness and extent of this ejecta can vary depending on the size of the impact and the characteristics of the lunar surface.
The only astronomical mentions my research turned up is that Alder is the name of an impact crater on the Moon. Here's the link to read about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alder_(crater). Otherwise, this is the genus name of a plant.
