Nomenclature
- Named for Hermann Joseph Klein (September 14, 1844 – 1914), a German astronomer, author and professor. He attained his doctorate from the University of Cologne in 1874, and taught at the school. He was a member of the Selenographical Society and translated [/Neison%2C%201876 Neison, 1876] into German. He also introduced [/Krieger Johann Krieger] to [/Seeliger Hugo Seeliger], Director of the Munich Observatory, who encouraged the latter's career in astronomy. Klein is perhaps best remembered for his erroneous report, in 1877, of a new crater or spot near [/Hyginus Hyginus].
- This crater was Catalog Number 3578 in the [/Collated%20List Collated List] where it is noted it was called [/Albategnius Albategnius] A by all three authorities.
- In the original IAU nomenclature of [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations] the name was changed to Klein (adopting a suggestion in Krieger and König), and the designation [/Albategnius Albategnius] A was recycled to a previously unnamed 7-km diameter crater to the northwest of [/Albategnius Albategnius]. Three previously unnamed craters were also assigned as satellites to Klein (A, B, and C).
