Greenish coloration at crater Young?
"A number of observers have claimed in the past that the inner slopes of the formation Young have a greenish, almost translucent cast or sheen when seen at the evening terminator" ([/A%20Portfolio%20of%20Lunar%20Drawings Harold Hill], pages 234, 235, 236; see also: [/Vallis%20Rheita Vallis Rheita]) - DannyCaes DannyCaes Mar 24, 2009
Nomenclature
- Named for Thomas Young (June 13, 1773-May 10, 1829), an English polymath, contributing to optics, physiology, and Egyptology, among other fields. In physics, Young is perhaps best known for his double-slit experiment, did much to establish the wave theory of light, and as the discoverer of the interference of light.
- Young was Catalog Number 4446 in Mary Blagg's [/Collated%20List Collated List], where the present name is attributed to [/Julius%20Schmidt Julius Schmidt]. The feature had been called [/Rheita Rheita] g in [/Neison%2C%201876 Neison, 1876], and was unnamed in [/Beer%20and%20M%C3%A4dler Beer and Mädler]. Young entered the IAU nomenclature in [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations] (1935).
