Kepler (32 km diameter) , period is a crater from copernican period named after a german astronomer Johannes Kepler, famous for the three laws of planetary motion. The impact boulder that created the crater Kepler was strong enough to cause a continues blanket on the impact,that excavated the material  from the deep. Surface material was thrown at distance from the crater, while material from the depth of the crater was cast on the rim.
