Nomenclature

Gemini Ridge is one of a quite large collection of NASA-related nicknames from the hey-days of the Apollo program, especially the missions of Apollo 10 and Apollo 11. Each one of these nicknames is located near the section of the lunar equator at the eastern part of the moon's near side.
See also the page NASA-related nicknames at the Maskelyne-Secchi region.
The nomenclature overlay from the online LROC ACT-REACT QUICK MAP also shows these nicknames. Worthwile to explore!
