Gassendi

GASSENDI. One of the most beautiful telescopic objects on the moon's visible surface, and structurally one of the most interesting and suggestive. It is a walled-plain, 88 Km in diameter, of a distinctly polygonal type, the N.E. and S.E. sections being practically straight, while the intermediate E. section exhibits a slightly convex curvature, or bulging in towards the interior.
