The Franklin Square Park is located in Syracuse, New York and in it's center has a large statue of Benjamin Franklin. The Statue's inscription reads as follows:
Benjamin Franklin
1706 - 1790
Scientist, Scholar, Diplomat, Inventor, Patriot, Philosopher, Printer and Publisher.
The namesake crater on the moon is a lunar impact crater that is located in the northeast part of the visible Moon; it is named after Benjamin Franklin. To the north-northwest is the smaller crater Cepheus, and in the opposite direction to the southwest is the shallow Berzelius.
The rim of Franklin is generally circular, with a pair of outward bulges in the western wall. The inner wall is terraced, and there is a central peak at the mid-point of the floor. A narrow cleft runs to the west-southwest across the floor, passing to the north of the central peak. The crater is 56 kilometers in diameter and 2.7 kilometers deep.
I hope you enjoy this extraterrestrial location.
