Lunar Ellipse of Fire
Macrobius A (Carmichael) is (or was?) number twelve in the list of 12 localities in the Lunar Ellipse of Fire
(see article from Farouk El-Baz in Sky and Telescope - June 1973).
Nomenclature
- Named for Leonard Carmichael (November 9, 1898 – September 16, 1973), an American psychologist.
- [/Macrobius Macrobius] A, the former name attributed to [/Beer%20and%20M%C3%A4dler Beer and Mädler], had been Catalog number 182 in the [/Collated%20List Collated List] and [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations].
- Carmichael, for this feature, appears in the list of approved names published in [/IAU%20Transactions%20XVB IAU Transactions XVB] (1973). The new honoree is not identified.
- The replacement name was first used on LTO-43C4 (May 1974) for which it served as the chart title.
- The association of the name with the present honoree is based on listings in early versions of the [/IAU%20Planetary%20Gazetteer IAU Planetary Gazetteer]. Biographical information was also published in [/Ashbrook%2C%201974 Ashbrook, 1974], however Leonard Carmichael would have still been alive at the time of the August 1973 IAU meeting, which means that if actually approved at that meeting this would be a rare case (in modern times) of a feature being named for a living honoree.
