(glossary entry; plural = '''Valles''')<br /> <br /> <br />
==Description==<br />
One of 18 different categories of lunar features recognized in the current system of [/IAU%20nomenclature IAU nomenclature]. The IAU defines a '''vallis''' as a "valley". The term is used as prefix to the feature name.<br /> <br /> <br />
==Additional Information==<br />
* In the earlier IAU nomenclature of [/Blagg%20and%20M%C3%BCller Blagg and Müller] the English word "Valley" was used in the official names, of which there were only three: "[/Vallis%20Alpes Alpine Valley]", "[/Vallis%20Rheita Rheita Valley]", and "[/Schr%C3%B6ter%27s%20Valley Schröter's Valley]". It was the authors' intention that each user would spell names of this sort in their own language. Since the Latinization of lunar names in [/IAU%20Transactions%20XIB 1961], the [/IAU IAU] presumably now expects scientists of all countries to use the Latin forms. <span class="membersnap">- [http://www.wikispaces.com/user/view/JimMosher [[Image:JimMosher-lg.jpg|16px|JimMosher]]] [http://www.wikispaces.com/user/view/JimMosher JimMosher]</span><br />
* At least two features today regarded as valleys were named like "primary" craters in [/Blagg%20and%20M%C3%BCller Blagg and Müller] ([/Vallis%20Bouvard Bouvard] and [/J.%20Cassini J. J. Cassini]). The former of these has been retained in the modern nomenclature as [/Vallis%20Bouvard Vallis Bouvard]; the latter name was dropped. Other features regarded as "valleys" were assigned capital Roman letter designations, indistinguishable from [/lettered%20craters lettered craters]. The original [/Rima%20Schr%C3%B6ter Schröter F] is probably an example of this.<br />
* The locations of many additional nearside valleys are indicated on the [/Quad%20Maps Quad Maps] of the ''[/System%20of%20Lunar%20Craters System of Lunar Craters]''. The precise number of valleys identified is difficult to assess because the graphic used to designate them is slightly ambiguous, consisting of two [/rupes scarp] symbols facing each other. Names were assigned to only four of these: [/Vallis%20Baade Vallis Baade], [/Vallis%20Inghirami Vallis Inghirami], [/Vallis%20Palitzsch Vallis Palitzsch], and [/Vallis%20Snellius Vallis Snellius].<br />
* Two farside "valleys" were given names in [/Menzel%2C%201971 1970/1971]: [/Vallis%20Planck Vallis Planck] and [/Vallis%20Schr%C3%B6dinger Vallis Schrödinger].<br />
* The (barely) nearside feature [/Vallis%20Bohr Vallis Bohr] and two minor parts of [/Aratus%20CA Aratus CA] were added by the IAU in [/IAU%20Transactions%20XVIB 1976]. The valleys associated with Aratus CA are much smaller and different in origin than virtually all other named valleys. This was an inappropriate use of the term. <span class="membersnap">- [http://www.wikispaces.com/user/view/tychocrater [[Image:tychocrater-lg.jpg|16px|tychocrater]]] [http://www.wikispaces.com/user/view/tychocrater tychocrater] <small>Jun 4, 2009</small></span><br />
* Finally, [/Vallis%20Capella Vallis Capella] was added at some unknown date.<br />
* Most of the newly named lunar valleys are probable basin [/catena crater chains], and the ones near [/Orientale%20Basin Orientale] are full of its ejecta. The [/Alpine%20Valley Alpine Valley] is a basin radial feature (as are most valleys) but fundamentally different in look and probably origin than the many newly named valleys. <span class="membersnap">- [http://www.wikispaces.com/user/view/tychocrater [[Image:tychocrater-lg.jpg|16px|tychocrater]]] [http://www.wikispaces.com/user/view/tychocrater tychocrater] <small>Sep 2, 2007</small></span><br />
