- A pair of good eyes could detect the presence of crater Gum on several frames of Apollo 15's south-looking Fairchild mapping/metric camera in Revolution 71. It is quite a task to describe the pinpoint location of Gum on these oblique frames (Gum is located very near the curved horizon). I suppose one should try to locate the position of Gum by exploring the first 20 or so frames in REV 71.- DannyCaes DannyCaes Aug 29, 2010

- Although it appears in the cumulative list of approved names in [/IAU%20Transactions%20XVB IAU Transactions XVB] (1973), it is not clear precisely when and where the name Gum was approved. It does not appear to replace any previous IAU-approved designation for this feature. - JimMosher JimMosher
