LO-IV-072H The "5-km" (current official IAU diameter) crater in the lower left is Rosse C.
Not seen in this photograph, just beyond the upper-right corner of the frame is the location of Rosse's Ghost''', which is an officially unnamed ghost-crater about the same size (diameter) of Rosse itself.

- Although there seems to be nothing in the LPI's list of orbital Apollo photographs of Rosse, this bowl-shaped crater WAS photographed during the missions of Apollo 8, Apollo 11, and Apollo 16 (Rosse was captured on oblique south-looking photographs of [/Mare%20Nectaris Mare Nectaris]).- DannyCaes DannyCaes May 9, 2010
- Apollo 8 photography:
- On Apollo 8's orbital south-looking oblique Hasselblad-camera photograph AS8-13-2242, it (the bowl-shaped crater Rosse) was captured near the frame's upper margin.
- On AS8-13-2243 it is noticeable a little bit above and to the left of the frame's centre.
- Apollo 11 photography:
- On two of Apollo 11's orbital south-looking oblique Hasselblad-camera photographs (AS11-42-6235 and 6236) it (crater Rosse) is visible near [/Fracastorius Fracastorius] (the large bay-shaped arc at the southern rim of [/Mare%20Nectaris Mare Nectaris]).
- Apollo 16 photography:
- On Apollo 16's orbital south-looking oblique Fairchild-metric/mapping photograph AS16-M-0686 it (Rosse) is visible near the central part of the curved horizon. One of [/Tycho Tycho]'s bright rays is like some sort of arrow, pointing at it (at crater Rosse). Photograph made during Revolution 26 (Apollo 16's first "rev" of south looking oblique photographs).
- See also AS16-M-2449 (the bright Rosse near the central part of the curved horizon). Photograph made during Revolution 48 (Apollo 16's second "rev" of south looking oblique photographs).

A ray from [/Tycho Tycho], striking along the W. wall of [/Fracastorius Fracastorius] passes near this object. A rill from near [/Bohnenberger Bohnenberger] terminates at this crater.

- There is an error somewhere - Rosse is more than 2.5 times as big as Rosse C, but the given diameters are 5 and 11! - tychocrater tychocrater
- In the earlier IAU database of [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations] the size ratio was given as 3:1.
- The crater diameters measured on LO-IV-072H are 11.3 km for Rosse and 3.9 km for Rosse C. - JimMosher JimMosher

Nomenclature
- Named (according to the [/IAU%20Planetary%20Gazetteer IAU Planetary Gazetteer]) for William Parsons, 3rd Earl of Rosse KP (June 17, 1800 – October 31, 1867), an Irish astronomer. He was the sixteenth Chancellor of Trinity College, Dublin between 1862 and 1867. In the 1840s, he built his "Leviathan of Parsonstown", a 72-inch (183-cm) telescope at Birr, Ireland (then called "Parsonstown") which was for many decades the largest telescope in the world.
- The name Rosse was given by [/Lee Lee] to a walled plain "first noticed by Mr. [/Birt Birt], on November 3, 1862 [and better on 27 August 1863]..Its selenographical coordinates are 53° to 60° S. latitude and 48° to 55° E. longitude, and it extends from the craters [/Zucchius Zuchius] and [/Segner Segner] on the south to [/Phocylides Phocylides] on the north...This walled plain has received the name of "Rosse," in honour of the nobleman [the 3rd Earl] who has so liberally conti-ibuted to the advancement of astronomy by the erection of one of the largest telescopes in existence at Parsonstown in Ireland." (Lee, 1864, page 8)
- The following thumbnails link to simulations of the Moon as it would have appeared from London on the dates mentioned by Dr. Lee. Birt's Rosse, as described by him, is indicated by white arrows:

[/Birts_Rosse_1863Aug27_LTVT_simulation.JPG |
- Birt and Lee's Rosse was listed as Number 417 in the [/British%20Association British Association] catalog as published in Webb (1873). It is also listed in Birt (1863) and Birt (1864, see Bibliography, below).
- In [/Neison%2C%201876 his book], Neison describes (page 512) the earlier Rosse as "an irregular extent of surface between [/Zucchius Zuchius], [/Segner Segner] and [/Phocylides Phocylides]...unworthy of being named." Although he says he is "transfering" the name, he also notates the name for the present feature as one of his own new proposals (the "N" after the name). As astronomical historian [/Robert%20Garfinkle Robert Garfinkle] has noticed Neison makes no mention of the Third Earl in the text of his book, but devotes many pages to the recent work on lunar temperatures by his son the Fourth Earl, Laurence Parsons (1840-1908), so (were it not for the remark about "transfering" an earlier name) the son seems more likely to be the person Neison intended to honor at the new location, but he may have intended to honor both. - JimMosher JimMosher
- The present feature was Catalog Number 4143 in Mary Blagg's [/Collated%20List Collated List], where it is noted that the name Rosse appears in [/Neison%2C%201876 Neison, 1876], but that the same feature was called [/Fracastorius Fracastor] E by [/Beer%20and%20M%C3%A4dler Beer and Mädler] and (possibly incorrectly) both [/Fracastorius Fracastor] E and [/Beer Beer] by [/Julius%20Schmidt Julius Schmidt].
- The name Rosse was selected in the IAU's [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations] (1935, where it is attributed to Neison, and again noted that Schmidt used the name [/Beer Beer]). The names Rosse C and Rosse Alpha (a peak northeast of Rosse) were also introduced for Catalog numbers 4148 and 4149, both names being attributed to Neison.
- Rosse's Ghost (a nickname from D.Caes for the ghost-crater NNE of Rosse).
- Not to be confused with [/Ross Ross].
- [/Ireland Related material] on other features named after Irish scientists.
