  • Marth, the 27th item in C.A.Wood's list of Concentric Craters (1978), shows a curious non-circular shape on the Hi-Res scan of Lunar Orbiter 4's photograph LOIV-136-h3. Marth is located near the frame's right margin (about "halfway"). Note also the curious "N"-shaped system of Rimae Ramsden, north of Ramsden itself and west-southwest of Marth.

Additional Information

  • IAU page: Marth
  • Depth data from Kurt Fisher database
    • Westfall, 2000: 1.07 km
  • The second most famous Concentric Crater (or possible Concentric Crater) is Marth. The first most famous Concentric Crater is Hesiodus A.
  • Is there a ghost crater just west of Marth? See LRO photograph Marth (discovered by A.Božič).
  • The suspected ghost-crater just west of Marth (about halfway between Marth and the triangle of hillocks Marth Alpha, Beta, and Gamma) is quite an interesting target to investigate. Only the east-northeastern part of its rim is visible, and perhaps also a very vague trace of the west-southwestern part (note: orbital photographs made during very low sun are needed!). - DannyCaes Jan 10, 2016
  • East-northeast of Marth, about halfway between Marth and Mercator, is the location of the bowl-shaped crater Mercator A which shows a remarkable system of dark bands on its inner slopes, looking very much like a dark X. This crater is nicknamed the X-crater by D.Caes.


Nomenclature

  • Named for Albert Marth (May 5, 1828–August 5, 1897), a German astronomer who worked in England and Ireland. He came to England in 1853 to work for George Bishop, a patron of astronomy. At that time, paid jobs in astronomy were quite rare. He worked as William Lassell's assistant in Malta, discovering 600 nebulae.
  • Three small hillocks west of Marth, arranged in the shape of a triangle, are unofficially known as Marth Alpha, Marth Beta, and Marth Gamma (see page 207 in Tony Dethier's Maanmonografieen).
