Additional Information
Nomenclature
- Named for Maria Sklodowska-Curie(born Maria Sklodowska; also known as Madame (Marie) Curie; November 7, 1867 – July 4, 1934), a Polish-French physicist and chemist. She was a pioneer in the field of radioactivity, the first twice-honored Nobel laureate (and still today the only laureate in two different sciences), and the first female professor at the Sorbonne.
- This crater was among those the initial list of 18 far-side features assigned IAU-approved names in 1961 on the basis of photographs returned by the Soviet Lunik 3 probe. The name assigned was Sklodowska-Curie, with the similar name Joliot-Curiebeing assigned to a northern hemisphere crater at a similar longitude.
- By 1970, the IAU had decided that giving craters similar-sounding names was a bad idea, so the present crater was renamed Sklodowska, while the northern hemisphere one was changed to Joliot. A separate crater to the southwest of Sklodowska was named Curiein honor of Pierre Curie.
- During planning for Apollo 8, the first manned circumlunar mission (1968), astronauts and mission planners (perhaps unaware that this crater already had a name), referred to Sklodowska-Curie by the informal name of "Houston" (see: Phil Stooke's LPOD).
- List of features named for women.
