[1] The International Astronomical Union decides the names for craters on our Moon. [2] The IAU organizes the naming of each particular feature around a particular theme. [3] The names of craters tend to fall into two groups. Typically, it has been for deceased scientists, scholars, explorers, and artists who've become known for their contributions, be they fundamental or outstanding, to their respective fields. [4] But the craters around Apollo crater and the Mare Moscoviense are to be named after respectively decreased American astronauts and Russian cosmonauts.
