Nomenclature

  • Greek female name.
  • Number 82 in Debra Hurwitz's Atlas and Catalog of Sinuous Rilles.
  • According to NASA RP-1097, "Rima Cleopatra" is a Minor Feature whose name was originally intended only for use in connection with Topophotomap 38B2/S1(on which it is plotted).
  • Because "Cleopatra" is regarded as a given name it does not honor any particular Cleopatra.
  • Cleopatra (of Rima Cleopatra) is the most western one of the near side's small lunar formations which have generic "first names".- DannyCaes Jul 8, 2010
