Description: Wikipedia
Additional Information
- [/Drygalski Drygalski] P was one of the last readily-identifiable features photographed by Japan's [/Kaguya Kaguya] spacecraft as it flew one last time through the [/terminator terminator] on its way to its impact on June 10, 2009.
Nomenclature
- Named for Joseph Ashbrook (1918-1980), an American astronomer and long time editor of the amateur astronomy magazine [/Ashbrook%2C%201984 Sky and Telescope].
- This name was actually proposed to the [/IAU IAU] by amateurs as part of their [/Luna%20Incognita Luna Incognita] project to fill in areas left blank on the [/Lunar%20Orbiter Lunar Orbiter] maps. It was approved in 1994 ([/IAU%20Transactions%20XXIIB IAU Transactions XXIIB]).
- Although listed in the [/IAU%20Planetary%20Gazetteer IAU Planetary Gazetteer] as replacing the former [/lettered%20crater lettered crater] designation [/Drygalski Drygalski] Q, that name was actually part of [/Ewen%20Whitaker Ewen Whitaker]'s effort to letter the farside for [/NASA%20RP-1097 NASA RP-1097] (1982) and was never approved by the [/IAU IAU].
