Nomenclature
- The IAU name currently honors two men:
- Henry Norris Russell (October 25, 1877 – February 18, 1957) was an American astronomer who, along with Ejnar Hertzsprung, developed the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (1910). He co-wrote an influential two-volume textbook in 1927 with Raymond Smith Dugan and John Quincy Stewart. This became the standard astronomy textbook for about two decades.
- John Russell (March 29, 1745 – April 20, 1806) was an English painter and selenographer renowned for his portrait work in oils and pastels, and as a writer and teacher of painting techniques. Russell was also interested in astronomy (he was a friend of Sir William Herschel) and in mathematics. He painted three of the best views ever of the Moon in 1795 and created a marvelous lunar globe.
- Collection of moon drawings by Russell exhibited at the Museum of the History of Science, Oxford from 24 May - 16 September 2007 (additional images including Russell's globe and Moon map).
- Russell's globe was displayed at a 2009 exhibit in Florence, along with some of the drawings used to create it.
- Name originally proposed by Wilkins and Moore for a small crater within "Paluzie"; shifted to a different crater in Rectified Lunar Atlas (1963) and approved by IAU in 1964 (Whitaker, 1999, p. 235).
- The name was originally meant to honor only Henry, but in 1970 a decision was made to add John to the list of honorees, and his biographical information was added to Menzel, 1971 .
- There seems to have been lots of other Russells in astronomy, such as Henry Chamberlain Russell (1836-1907, Australian astronomer and meteorologist).- DannyCaes Apr 16, 2011
- Bertrand Russell (1872-1970), British philosopher, logician, mathematician, historian, writer, social critic, political activist. B.Russell is mentioned in Carl Sagan's COSMOS.- DannyCaes Mar 21, 2015
