  • Lunar Orbiter 1's Frame 026 shows craters Liouville and [/Respighi Respighi] (north of the dark mare-like region [/Schubert Schubert] N), and [/Dubyago Dubyago] (near the top left corner of photograph). Note the concentric crater south of Liouville! (almost touching the eastern part of the dark region [/Schubert Schubert] N).
  • Apollo 11's orbital Hasselblad AS11-42-6298 shows a shadowless close up of Liouville. Warning: the coordinates mentioned in the LPI's caption (at this photograph) are totally wrong!- DannyCaes DannyCaes Aug 20, 2010
  • Liouville was also captured on Apollo 16's orbital panoramic ITEK-frame AS16-P-5138. Scroll to the right, beyond the frame's centre, to see Liouville.

Additional Information

  • Depth data from [/Kurt%20Fisher%20crater%20depths Kurt Fisher database]
    • Westfall, 2000: 2.91 km
  • [/Concentric%20crater Concentric crater] south of Liouville (mentioned as Number 12: "near [/Schubert Schubert] N" in C.A.Wood's list of 1978).


Nomenclature

  • Named for Joseph Liouville (March 24, 1809 - September 8, 1882), a French mathematician. Liouville worked in a number of different fields in mathematics, including number theory, complex analysis, differential geometry and topology, but also mathematical physics and even astronomy.
  • This replacement name for a formerly [/lettered%20crater lettered crater] was apparently first used on LTO 63D4 (June 1974).
  • Since [/Dubyago Dubyago] was not part of the original IAU nomenclature of [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations], the former name ([/Dubyago Dubyago] S) probably appeared in the [/Rectified%20Lunar%20Atlas Rectified Lunar Atlas] or the [/System%20of%20Lunar%20Craters System of Lunar Craters].
  • The replacement name was approved in [/IAU%20Transactions%20XVIB IAU Transactions XVIB] (1976).
  • Not to be confused with [/Louville Louville].
