==Additional Information==
* IAU page: [http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/Feature/3348 Lents (Lenz)]
* Near '''Lenz''', east-northeast of it, at 3°10' North/ 100° West, is the most beautiful raycrater of the entire moon's surface ([http://the-moon.us/wiki/Pierazzo Pierazzo]). Part of '''Pierazzo''''s ray-system is seen on the ''Clementine'' photo above. The ''Lunar Photo of the Day'' (LPOD) of december the 12th, 2007, shows a wonderful image of it, made by the Chinese probe ''Chang'e''. During the manned lunar missions of project Apollo, this exceptionally beautiful raycrater was never photographed, because it was never illuminated by the sun or by Earthshine. In fact, all the regions behind the moon's western limb (as seen from Earth) were never illuminated by the sun. We could call this part of the moon (the '''Hertzsprung''' area and environs) "''Apollo's dark part of the moon''". <span class="membersnap">- [http://www.wikispaces.com/user/view/DannyCaes [[Image:DannyCaes-lg.jpg|16px|DannyCaes]]] [http://www.wikispaces.com/user/view/DannyCaes DannyCaes] <small>Jan 6, 2008</small></span>

==Nomenclature==

* Named for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_Lenz Heinrich Friedrich Emil Lenz] (February 12, 1804 - February 10, 1865), a Baltic German physicist most famous for formulating Lenz's law in 1833. He began studying electromagnetism in 1831. Besides the law named in his honor, Lenz also independently discovered Joule's law in 1842; to honor his efforts on the problem, Russian physicists always use "Joule-Lenz law" as the name.
* This name was approved by the IAU (as '''Lenz''') in [http://the-moon.us/wiki/Menzel%2C%201971#Lents Menzel, 1971].
* The spelling has changed as a result of changes in the way the Cyrillic characters are transliterated. The older spelling in parenthesis is probably to be ignored but the IAU has never adopted a clear or consistent position on this.
