Brontë (lunar crater)


Brontë is a feature on Earth's Moon, a crater in Taurus-Littrow valley. The astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt drove along the north rim of it in their Lunar Roving Vehicle on the Apollo 17 mission in 1972.
To the northeast of Brontë are Camelot and Horatio, as well as the landing site itself. To the north is Victory, to the northwest is Shorty, and to the west is Lara.
The crater was named by the astronauts after the English novelist Charlotte Brontë.
