Additional Information
- IAU page: Neison
- Depth data from [/Kurt%20Fisher%20crater%20depths Kurt Fisher database]
- Westfall, 2000: 1.6 km
- Cherrington, 1969: 2.4 km
- Measures on LRO QuickMap give ave depth about 1.2 km
- The shadow in LO-IV-104H indicates the east rim of Neison is 1250-1400 km above the flat floor (increasing to the south). The ring around [/Meton Meton] C is of similar elevation at its highest points. 9-km diameter Neison A (on the southeast rim) is also a little over 1200 m deep.
Nomenclature
- Named for Edmund Neison (pseudonym) (1849-1940), a British astronomer and selenographer who published the classic reference, [/Neison%2C%201876 The Moon], in 1876. Nevill spent most of his professional life at the Natal Observatory in South Africa, where the largest telescope was an 8-inch Grubb refractor. See the Astronomical Society of South Africa's biography of him for further details.
- Neison's personal With-Browning reflector, later owned by [/Elger Elger], [/Walter%20Goodacre Walter Goodacre], [/Hugh%20Percy%20Wilkins H. P. Wilkins] and [/Robert%20Garfinkle Robert Garfinkle].
- Named by Lamèch ([/Whitaker Whitaker], p 228), Neison was part of the original IAU nomenclature of [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations].
