  • Apollo 16's color-Hasselblad AS16-121-19445 shows Harkhebi between the bright ray-crater [/Giordano%20Bruno Giordano Bruno] and the walled plain [/Fabry Fabry] (which is visible a little bit to the left of the frame's centre).

Additional Information


Nomenclature

  • Named for Harkhebi (ca. 300 BC), an astronomer who lived in Ptolemaic Egypt during the rule of the Ptolemaic dynasty. He may have based many of his observations on earlier Babylonian contributions to astronomy.
  • Harkhebi was among the long list of IAU-approved farside lunar feature names published in [/Menzel%2C%201971 Menzel, 1971].
  • Danny Caes notes that Harkhebi was labeled [/Riemann Riemann] on Antonín Rükl's 1972 [/R%C3%BCkl Maps of lunar hemispheres]. [/Riemann Riemann] was one of six nearside names that were deemed sufficiently indistinct to merit deleting the nearside names and reusing the names on the farside ([/IAU%20Transactions%20XIVB IAU Transactions XIVB], 1970). However, subsequent to the October, 1970 printing of provisional [/DMA ACIC] maps illustrating the new IAU farside nomenclature, these six nearside names were reinstated ([/Menzel%2C%201971 Menzel, 1971]), so Rükl's use of the name [/Riemann Riemann] for the farside feature was incorrect (as he notes in the booklet accompanying his maps). - JimMosher JimMosher
