Additional Information
Nomenclature
- Named after the nearby promontorium. (Promontorium Fresnel).
- Called Fossae Fresnel on Lunar Topographic Orthophotomap 41-B4.
- The original IAU nomenclature of Blagg and Müller had only one Roman-numeraled rille named after "Cape Fresnel".
- The curious duo of bowl-shaped craterlets immediately west of the Fresnel Ridge (aka Hill 305) never received an IAU-related name or letter designation. Yet, it is one of the most interesting targets for observers and photographers of small and distinct lunar regions (to test the optics of telescopes!). AS15-P-9804 is one of the ITEK-camera's panoramic images of that duo (right half of the photographic strip). Note the small central peaks in both craterlets! - DannyCaes Feb 3, 2008
