Additional Information
Nomenclature
- Named for Alexis Bouvard (1767-1843), a French astronomer and mathematician.
- Bouvard was listed as a Catalog Entry 2240 in Mary Blagg's Collated List of 1913.
- The original IAU nomenclature of Blagg and Müller included Bouvard as well as ten lettered craters and four Greek-lettered peaks named after it. Bouvard was listed as an 80-km diameter "ring plain" (crater). The name is attributed to Mädler.
- The name was changed from Bouvard to Vallis Bouvard as part of the re-naming of vaguely defined features in the Mare Orientale region announced in Menzel, 1971.
