Nomenclature
Edmund; German astronomer, mathematician, physicist (1837-1917).
- According to [/Whitaker Whitaker] (p. 226), this name was introduced by [/Krieger Krieger] and [/K%C3%B6nig König].
- The bright double ray NNW of Tycho, which is running over Weiss, is unofficially called the Double Weiss Ray by Danny Caes. The "source" of the western one of this double ray is probably the chain of craterlets near Tycho U and Heinsius Q (north-northwest of Tycho itself, unofficially called Catena Tycho).
