High and low albedo streaks and spots on Born's inner slopes are noticeable on Apollo 15's orbital ITEK-panoramic frames AS15-P-10086 and 10091. Born's location is between the centre and right margin of both frames.

Nomenclature
- Max Born (December 11, 1882 – January 5, 1970) was a German physicist and mathematician. He won the 1954 Nobel Prize in Physics. Born played a crucial role in the development of quantum mechanics. In a letter to Born in 1926, Einstein made his famous remark regarding quantum mechanics, often paraphrased as "The Old One does not play dice."
- This replacement name for a formerly [/lettered%20crater lettered crater] was provisionally introduced on LTO-80B3 (for which it served as the chart title). The name had been considered, but was rejected, during the initial naming of lunar farside features because of its similarity to "[/Bohr Bohr]" ([/IAU%20Transactions%20XVA IAU Transactions XVA], [/Menzel%2C%201971 Menzel, 1971]. However, the [/IAU IAU] soon changed its mind and added Born to a name-bank (for future use) in [/IAU%20Transactions%20XVIB IAU Transactions XVIB]. Three years later its use on the LTO was approved ([/IAU%20Transactions%20XVIIB IAU Transactions XVIIB]). - JimMosher JimMosher
