195 names of scientists
195 names of scientists
An addition to the page IAU Transactions XVIB -- TRANSACTIONS OF THE IAU: VOLUME XVIB - PROCEEDINGS OF THE 16TH GENERAL ASSEMBLY (Grenoble 1976)
This experimental page is an exploration and investigation of 195 biographies of scientists, of which the names are part of a bank for future use on the moon (a possible addition to the existing alphabetic list of official lunar nomenclature).
The goal is to detect and to add all the Wikipedia pages (biographies) of each scientist/explorer/inventor mentioned in the alphabetic list.
Research: Danny Caes
-- Nobel prize winners are starred.
(blue-colored names are connected to recently (officially) named lunar formations, the Wikipedia-biographies of these scientists are included in the corresponding Moon-Wiki pages)
