Description
The feature formerly known as Fontenelle Epsilon is rocky outcropping in [/Mare%20Frigoris Mare Frigoris], about 50 km southwest of the center of Fontenelle.
Seems to be the southern corner of the formation known as Madler's Square.
Additional Information
- Coordinates and diameter are from LO-IV-128H registered to the [/ULCN#ULCN_1994 1994 ULCN].
- Height rises between 540m-640m (Boint, "Profiles Of Features In The J. Herschel Crater, Fontenelle Crater, and La Condamine Crater Area", Selenology Today, Vol. 9. 1-12.)- fatastronomer fatastronomer
- The peak immediately north of Fontenelle Epsilon (long 16.2W, lat 63.5N) rises between 280m-360m (Boint, "Profiles Of Features In The J. Herschel Crater, Fontenelle Crater, and La Condamine Crater Area", Selenology Today, Vol. 9. 1-12.).- fatastronomer fatastronomer
- An old crater rim 100km north of Fontenelle crater (21.7 W.Long., 67 N. Lat.) was measured and a profile produced. The maximum height measured was just under 1600m. (Boint, "Profiles Of Features In The J. Herschel Crater, Fontenelle Crater, and La Condamine Crater Area", Selenology Today, Vol. 9. 1-12.).- fatastronomer fatastronomer
Nomenclature
- Named after the nearby crater ([/Fontenelle Fontenelle]).
- Part of original IAU nomenclature of [/Blagg%20and%20M%C3%BCller Blagg and Müller] (1935), [/Collated%20List Collated List] #1333.
- Nearly all Greek-lettered peak names east of Fontenelle, including this one (Fontenelle Epsilon), were discontinued by the [/IAU IAU] in 1973 ([/IAU%20Transactions%20XVB IAU Transactions XVB]), most of them are still seen on the charts of the Times Atlas of the Moon.
