Nomenclature
- Frederik Kaiser (June 10, 1808 – July 28, 1872) was a Dutch astronomer. He is credited with the advancement of Dutch astronomy through his world-class scientific contributions of positional measurements, his successful popularization of astronomy in the Netherlands, and by helping to build a state-of-the-art observatory in 1861.
- Kaiser seems to have been a possible name for the bowl shaped high-albedo crater Mosting A (number 498), see W.R.Birt, august 1873.- DannyCaes May 19, 2013
