Additional Information
- IAU page: Sinus Aestuum
- Mare area of 39,600 km^2 according to measurements by Jim Whitford-Stark.
- LROC view of dark mantled deposits around Sinus Aestuum region.
Nomenclature
- Sinus Aestuum was part of the original IAU nomenclature of [/Blagg%20and%20M%C3%BCller Blagg and Müller] (1935).
- Section of the Face of the Woman in the Moon.
- Section of Ed Murray's C or Dark C.
- The name Sinus Aestuum is Latin, according to the IAU, for "Seething Bay", or according to [/Whitaker Whitaker], "Bay of Seething Heat" (p. 87) or "Bay of Hot Days" (p. 216).
- In a review of their book in the February 1955 [/BAA JBAA] (page 121), Whitaker criticizes [/Wilkins%20and%20Moore Wilkins and Moore] for translating the name as "Bay of Heat," saying the correct translation is "Bay of Billows."
- According to Whitaker (pp. 216-217), this name was introduced by [/Riccioli Riccioli], although Riccioli used it for the feature now known as [/Sinus%20Medii Sinus Medii]. Blagg, in her [/Collated%20List Collated List] (#1270), found the present feature labeled with its modern name by all the authorities she consulted. Whitaker does not specify who moved it to its present location.
- [/Langrenus Van Langren] had previously referred to this area (plus [/Mare%20Vaporum Mare Vaporum]) as Fretum Catholicum ([/Whitaker Whitaker], pp. 192 and 200).
- Aestuum Pyroclastics, an unofficial name on chart 17 of the 21st Century Atlas of the Moon (C.A. Wood/ M. Collins). The location of the Aestuum Pyroclastics is north-northwest of Schroter, at the same location of F.v.P. Gruithuisen's so called "lunar city".
