Lunar Nomenclature

History and Documents
nomenclature.jpg

The second person who made a map of the Moon used different names than the first person did. Since then there has been a constant struggle to devise and maintain lunar nomenclature systems that are consistent and unambiguous. We collect here many of the basic documents concerning the history of lunar nomenclature. Additionally, on each wiki page we attempt to provide information for each named feature.
