A wonderful telescopic photograph which was made by the dedicated lunar observer Bob Pilz shows Kathleen in the very centre of it. The somewhat curved chain of mountains (running diagonally over the lower left part of the photograph) is Montes Apenninus. North is to the right. Research: Danny Caes

Nomenclature

Irish female name.
 

• According to NASA RP-1097, "Kathleen" is a Minor Feature whose name was originally intended only for use in connection with Topophotomap 41A3/S1(on which it is plotted).
• The rille at whose end Kathleen is situated was provisionally called "Rima Mozart" on the Topophotmap. This name was not approved by the IAU.
• Although it (the oblong depression which is officially called Kathleen) was large enough to be depicted by Antonin Rukl on chart 22 of his Atlas of the Moon, it (the name Kathleen) was not printed near it (not printed at all).- DannyCaes May 26, 2010
• One of the main-belt asteroids in our solar system is also called Kathleen; 3754 Kathleen.- DannyCaes Mar 24, 2013

Bibliography

Perhaps interesting to know that there was once a lady known as Kathleen Auvil (of Montrose, Randolph County, West Virginia) who detected some sort of pseudo-meteorite and submitted it to Frank C. Cross (see his article Hypothetical Meteorites of Sedimentary Origin, Popular Astronomy, 1947) (and page 305 in: Mysterious Universe, a handbook of astronomical anomalies, William R. Corliss, The Sourcebook Project, 1979).
