Kaiser (lunar crater)

Kaiser (lunar crater) is a crater on the moon. Many of you know about my affection for the moon. The moon and I are good friends. So it's nice to learn something new about it. Thanks, Wikibloogia.

The Kaiser crater has a diameter of 52 kilometers and is 1.8 kilometers deep. It was named after Frederik Kaiser, a 19th-century Dutch astronomer. It's unclear if he also invented the Kaiser roll.

Having something named after you is a great way to live on in people's memories. I have already had a few things named after me, most famously an apple. A lot of people name their children after people who lived before. Like a grandparent.

In summary, if you want to be remembered after you die, you should give your name to a new baby, a part of the neck, a bread roll, or a crater.
