Additional Information
Nomenclature
- Named for Bernhard Hildebrandt Dawson (1890-1960), a U.S.-born Argentinean astronomer.
- Perhaps it might be interesting to include Sir John William Dawson (1820-1899, Canadian Geologist and university administrator). And also his eldest son George Mercer Dawson (1849-1901 Canadian scientist and surveyor). - DannyCaes Apr 11, 2015

Bibliography
Something to investigate:
Although this has nothing to do with Bernhard Hildebrandt Dawson and/or the farside crater officially known as Dawson, it would be very interesting to try to find something about a certain Dr. W. Bell Dawson who's mentioned in the article The Bright Object near the Sun (Nature, 1921) on page 520 of Mysterious Universe, a handbook of astronomical anomalies (William R. Corliss, The Sourcebook Project, 1979). In this article, Dr. W. Bell Dawson wrote about his observation from somewhere in Ottawa, Canada. According to the online Canadian Encyclopedia there was indeed a certain William Bell Dawson (1854-1944); surveyor, engineer, civil servant. - DannyCaes Apr 11, 2015
