Greenish coloration at crater Young?
"A number of observers have claimed in the past that the inner slopes of the formation Young have a greenish, almost translucent cast or sheen when seen at the evening terminator" (Harold Hill, pages 234, 235, 236; see also: Vallis Rheita) - DannyCaes Mar 24, 2009
Nomenclature
- Named for Thomas Young (June 13, 1773-May 10, 1829), an English polymath, contributing to optics, physiology, and Egyptology, among other fields. In physics, Young is perhaps best known for his double-slit experiment, did much to establish the wave theory of light, and as the discoverer of the interference of light.
- Young was Catalog Number 4446 in Mary Blagg's Collated List, where the present name is attributed to Julius Schmidt. The feature had been called Rheita g in Neison, 1876, and was unnamed in Beer and Mädler. Young entered the IAU nomenclature in Named Lunar Formations (1935).
