Additional Information
Nomenclature
- Wood T was officially approved by the IAU on the 25 July 2017 - JohnMoore2 JohnMoore2
- Named for Robert Williams Wood (May 2, 1868 – August 11, 1955), an American physicist. He is probably best known for his work discrediting the phenomenon of N rays. His fields of interest included Raman spectroscopy, field emission, optics, and the manufacture of diffraction gratings. The optical effect belonging to diffraction grating known as Wood's anomaly is named after him. In lunar studies he is noted for his suggestion that surface composition might be inferred by color studies; and his 1910 discovery that a portion of the [/Aristarchus%20Plateau Aristarchus Plateau] was dark in the ultraviolet (aka Wood's Spot).
- Wood was in the long list of farside names approved by the [/IAU IAU] in 1970 and published in [/Menzel%2C%201971#Wood Menzel, 1971].
- Perhaps interesting to know: James Wayne Wood (1924-1990, American test-pilot and astronaut in the X-20 Dyna-Soar program).
