When Lyell A (called Abduh on LTO map 61-A2) is observed near or during Full Moon, it (Lyell A) looks very much like a typical "ring nebula" (a planetary nebula). Figure 51 in NASA SP-362 APOLLO OVER THE MOON, Chapter 3: The Terrae (Part 2), shows a stereo image of Lyell, Franz, and Lyell A. The curious "ring nebula" appearance of Lyell A is remarkable! Lyell A is perhaps the only example on the moon's surface which shows this curious "ring-with-central-star" effect. - DannyCaes Mar 27, 2008

Sir Charles Lyell (November 14, 1797 – February 22, 1875) was a Scottish lawyer and geologist. Lyell's geological interests ranged from volcanoes and geological dynamics through stratigraphy, paleontology and glaciology to topics that would now be classified as prehistoric archaeology and paleoanthropology. He is best known, however, for his role in popularising the doctrine of uniformitarianism; that the earth was shaped entirely by slow-moving forces acting over a very long period of time.
