Nomenclature

  • The former IAU name meant "Winter Sea", one of a set of "four seasons" names given by [/Franz Franz] in his Die Randlandschaften des Mondes (1913). to previously unnamed dark patches in this area. The others were [/Mare%20Veris Mare Veris] (Spring), [/Mare%20Aestatis Mare Aestatis] (Summer), and [/Mare%20Autumni Mare Autumni] (Fall). The relevant section of Franz' map is reproduced as Figure 7 in [/Baum%20and%20Whitaker%2C%202007 Baum and Whitaker, 2007] (p. 132).
  • This name along with Franz' other three names, was adopted into the original 1935 IAU nomenclature of [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations] where it is #1975a. But the coordinates given for it there seem to have been 6°S / 79°W, which (as shown on the [/LTM Army Map Service]'s LTM-2) places the feature between [/Schl%C3%BCter Schlüter] and [/Riccioli Riccioli] in the vicinity of what is now known as [/Hartwig Hartwig]. The position given in the title line is from Franz' map.
  • The name was deleted by G. P. Kuiper in connection with [/PLA%20Table%20III Table III] of his 1960 [/Photographic%20Lunar%20Atlas Photographic Lunar Atlas], where (misspelled? as Mare Heimis) it is listed as one of two "small patches of dark material not worthy of separate names" (the other being [/Mare%20Parvum Mare Parvum]). These changes were approved by the IAU in 1961 ([/IAU%20Transactions%20XIB IAU Transactions XIB]).
  • In connection with the subsequent revisions to the IAU nomenclature attendant to the preparation of the [/Rectified%20Lunar%20Atlas Rectified Lunar Atlas] (approved in 1964), the prominent crater on whose floor these dark patches lie was given the new name [/Schl%C3%BCter Schlüter]. The authors of that work identified this crater as possibly corresponding to what had been previously known as [/Collated%20List Collated List] #1962 ("[/Riccioli Riccioli] A"), which shared the same coordinates as Mare Hiemis (again, seemingly to the east of the feature illustrated here).
