Additional Information
- From the shadow in LO-V-030H, the 65-km diameter inner crater steps down about 3 km (on its west side). The shadows are not well placed for estimating the depth of the crater as a whole. - Jim Mosher
Nomenclature
- Named for Friedrich Paschen (January 22, 1865 - February 25, 1947), a German physicist, known for his work on electrical discharges. He is also known for the Paschen series, a series of hydrogen spectral lines in the infrared region that he first observed in 1908. He established the now widely used Paschen curve.
- Paschen was in the long list of farside names approved by the IAU in 1970 and published in Menzel, 1971.
- Once known as Confucius (N° 376 on the Second Complete Moon Map - 1969 of the Shternberg Astronomy Institute). Research: Danny Caes.
