Nomenclature

Hermann Mayer Salomon Goldschmidt (June 17, 1802–April 26, 1866) was a German astronomer and painter who spent much of his life in France.
Perhaps also interesting to include in this page:
Victor Mordechai Goldschmidt (1853-1933; mineralogist, natural philosopher, art collector).
Victor Moritz Goldschmidt (1888-1947; mineralogist, considered to be the founder of modern geochemistry and crystal chemistry).

Victor Goldschmidt in the Sourcebook Project (William R. Corliss)

- Page 548 in Mysterious Universe, a handbook of astronomical anomalies (1979) :
  • A New Law of Satellite Distances (J.B.Penniston, Science, 1930).

(in this article mentioned as -Victor Goldschmidt of Heidelberg- , which (according to Wikipedia) must be Victor Mordechai Goldschmidt).
