Banting (crater) Banting (crater) Banting is a small, bowl-shaped lunar impact crater located near the middle of the Mare Serenitatis on the Earth's moon. Originally named Linné E, in 1973 the crater was renamed for Sir Frederick Banting in honour of his outstanding medical contributions – the most famous being his discovery of insulin. Linné itself, named after the 18th-century Swedish botanist Carl von Linné, lies to the west-northwest. Other nearby craters are Sarabahi in the east-southeast and Hornsby located more than 100 km to the southwest. About 70–80 km to the east is Bessel H, a satellite crater of Bessel. About
