=Ashbrook: "New Names on the Moon" (1974)=<br />
(glossary entry)<br /> <div id="toc"><br />
<br /> <br />
==Description==<br />
This unofficial news article provides biographical information, not elsewhere available, about some of the new names appearing in the cumulative list published in [[IAU%20Transactions%20XVB|IAU Transactions XVB]], and other information about changes made at the August 1973 IAU meeting in Sydney, Australia, of which those ''Transactions'' are the official record.<br /> <br /> <br />
==Additional Information==<br />
* Scanned copy of article: <div class="objectEmbed">[[media:Ashbrook_1974_NewNames.pdf]]<br /><br />
</div><br />
* As with other ''IAU Transactions'', it is apparent that some of the things the official record implies were "approved" by the General Assembly were actually finalized after the meeting. For example, the new name [[Carmichael|Carmichael]] must have been inserted after the meeting since it could not have been known in August that the honoree would die later in the year, allowing use of his name.<br />
* Similarly the "management" seems to have thought better of some of the things the reporter was told had been to agreed to in August, and suppressed them in the final record. For example, the new lunar topography descriptor terms '''anguis''' and '''ruina''' are not mentioned anywhere other than in this news article.<br />

Here is an experimental audio file (1:12 minute) of me talking about Archimedes.<br /> <div class="objectEmbed">[[media:ArchimedesTalk.m4a]]<br /> <br />

===Elger===<br />
''([[IAU%20directions|IAU Directions]])'' ARCHIMEDES.--Next to Plato the finest object on the [[Mare%20Imbrium|Mare Imbrium]]. It is about 50 miles in diameter. The average height of its massive border is about 4,000 feet above the interior, which is only depressed some 500 or 600 feet below the Mare, the highest peak (about 7,000 feet) being on the S.W. The walls are terraced, and include much detail, both within and without. The most noteworthy features in connection with this formation are the crater-cones, craterlets, pits, white spots, and light streaks which figure on the otherwise smooth interior. Mr. T.P. Gray, F.R.A.S., of Bedford, who, with praiseworthy assiduity, has devoted more than ten years to the close scrutiny of these features, Mr. Stanley Williams, and others, have detected four crater-cones on the W. half of the floor, and about fifty minute craters and white spots, also probably volcanic vents, and a very curious and interesting series of light streaks, mostly traversing the formation from W. to E. A little W. of the ce<br /> ntre is a dusky oval area about 6 miles across, and S.E. of this is another, much smaller. Under some conditions of illumination the two principal light markings may be traced over the E. wall, and for some distance on the plain beyond.<br /> <br /> On the southern side of Archimedes is a very rugged mountain region, extending for more than 100 miles towards the south: on the E. of this originates a remarkable rill-system, best seen under evening illumination. The two principal clefts follow a nearly parallel course up to the face of the [[Montes%20Apenninus|Apennines]] near [[Mons%20Bradley|Mount Bradley]], crossing in their way, almost at right angles, other clefts which run at no great distance from the W. foot of this range and ramify among the outlying hills. Archimedes A is a brilliant little ring-plain on the S.W. of Archimedes. It casts an extraordinary shadow at sunrise, and has a well-marked crater-row on the W. of it, and two long narrow valleys, one of which appears to be a southerly extension of the row.<br /> <br /> <br />

==Nomenclature==<br />
<br />
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes Archimedes of Syracuse] (c. 287 BC – c. 212 BC) was an ancient Greek mathematician, physicist and engineer. Although little is known about his life, he is regarded as one of the most important scientists in classical antiquity.<br />
* The region immediately west of '''Archimedes''' was called '''''Lacus Marinus''''' on J.Hewelcke's map (or was it perhaps the <u>floor</u> of '''Archimedes'''?). J.Hewelcke's name for the whole of the IAU's '''Archimedes''' was '''''Mons Argentarius''''' (or was it only the ring of mountains surrounding '''''Lacus Marinus'''''?). Ewen A.

<br /> <br />
===Description===<br />
This book, prepared by the Mapping Sciences Laboratory of the NASA Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston with the assistance of [[LPL|LPL]] selenographer [[Ewen%20Whitaker|Ewen Whitaker]], and published in 1971, is a forerunner of the latest version of the [[USGS%20Digital%20Atlas|USGS Digital Atlas]] of the Moon in the sense that it is a semi-independent effort to document the then-current [[IAU%20nomenclature|IAU nomenclature]] as accurately and completely as possible on a photographic base. More specifically, it was the result of an on-going effort to unambiguously indicate with dots on [[Lunar%20Orbiter|Lunar Orbiter]] images the locations of every feature name on the Moon’s nearside that might be used in planning Apollo missions. It includes the [[mons|Greek-lettered peaks]] and [[rima|Roman-numeraled rilles]] that the authors regarded as significant. Each name is carefully cross-referenced to the corresponding catalog number in [[Blagg%20and%20M%C3%BCller|Blagg and Müller]] and the "LPL list" (= ''[[System%20of%20Lunar%20Craters|System of Lunar Craters]]''), and a complete list is given of every [[Lunar%20Orbiter|Lunar Orbiter IV]] photograph in which that feature was imaged and labeled. It also includes a list of images from other Lunar Orbiter missions on which selected features can be seen.<br /> <br /> <br />
===Additional Information===<br />
When first published, this book received a rather [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1974Icar...21..208W critical review] by Don Wilhelms of the [[USGS|USGS]], citing many errors (some brought to his attention by Whitaker himself). Oddly, it is not mentioned in Whitaker’s own otherwise comprehensive book on the history of lunar mapping and nomenclature.<br /> <br /> Added note: I had the job of checking all the nomenclature for this book before it was published. When I finished, Ewen and I went to JSC in Houston (we were both at the Lunar Lab in Tucson then) to let Danny Kinsler know the results. Sadly, my copy of 241 has disappeared. <span class="membersnap">- tychocrater <small>Jun 24, 2007</small></span><br /> <br /> <br />

<br /> <br />
===The Catalog===<br />
The following is a preliminary scan of the ''Index'' to the labeled images in ''SP-241'', which also serves as a nearside feature names catalog and a feature-based index to the [[Lunar%20Orbiter|Lunar Orbiter IV]] imagery.<br /> <br />
<br />
* <div class="objectEmbed">[[media:SP241_Catalog_tabbed.txt]] <br /><br />
<br /> <br />
<br />
* ''Note: [[Ewen%20Whitaker|Ewen Whitaker]] circulated a list of errata which have been corrected in this version of the scanned catalog, but there are still many scanning/optical character recognition errors, and SP-241 itself contains many errors not on Whitaker's list.''<br />
<br /> The ''Index'' consists of lines with five data fields separated by tab characters. It can be read as a text file, but will display more clearly if downloaded to disk and opened with a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft [http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/default.aspx Excel] or its [http://www.openoffice.org/product/calc.html Open Office] equivalent.<br /> <br /> The five data fields represent:<br /> <br />
<br />
* FEATURE IDENT. - [[IAU|IAU]]-approved name of feature<br />
* B&M - catalog number (if any) of feature in Blagg & Müller's ''[[Named%20Lunar%20Formations|Named Lunar Formations]]''<br />
* LPL - catalog number (if any) of feature in the "[[LPL|LPL]] list" (''[[System%20of%20Lunar%20Craters|System of Lunar Craters]]'')<br />
* LONG. - selenographic longitude ''(unfortunately not given for all features)''<br />
* LAT. - selenographic longitude ''(unfortunately not given for all features)''<br />
* PHOTO NO. - frame numbers from Lunar Orbiter IV on which the feature is identified in the illustrated portion of the book<br />
<br /> Fields which are blank in the text are filled with the character string "-999". These can easily be restored to blanks using the spreadsheet's Search/Replace function, if desired. ''SP-241'' does not list diameters or any other characteristics of the features depicted.<br /> <br /><br />
<br />
===Discrepancies with Current Nomenclature===<br />
Although not an [[IAU|IAU]] publication, NASA's ''SP-241'' seems to have been regarded as the perfection of the ''[[System%20of%20Lunar%20Craters|System of Lunar Craters]]'', and was acknowledged in the IAU's 1973 ''[[IAU%20Transactions%20XVA|Reports on Astronomy]]'' as "the best summary, to date, of lunar nomenclature for the near side of the Moon."<br /> <br /> Unfortunately the current [[IAU%20Planetary%20Gazetteer|IAU Planetary Gazetteer]] originates from different sources, with the [[lettered%20craters|lettered craters]], in particular, having been added based on their listings in the non-IAU-approved catalog [[NASA%20RP-1097|NASA RP-1097]]. ''RP-1097'' changed and/or dropped many of the nearside lettered designations, added letters for the farside, and adopted certain changes to non-lettered feature nomenclature recommended by the IAU subsequent to the publication ''SP-241''. It is therefore of some interest to see how the current [[IAU%20nomenclature|IAU nomenclature]] differs for the older IAU-approved nomenclature represented by ''SP-241'', and used on many older maps (such as [[R%C3%BCkl|Rükl]]) that, in trying to conform to the then-current IAU standards, may have chosen to ignore the NASA-recommended (but unapproved) changes of ''RP-1097''.<br /> <br /> It should perhaps be noted that ''SP-241'' itself differs substantially for the original IAU-nomenclature of [[Blagg%20and%20M%C3%BCller|Blagg and Müller]], reflecting many changes introduced in the IAU approved''[[System%20of%20Lunar%20Craters|System of Lunar Craters]]''.<br /> <br /> The following is a preliminary computer-generated list of discrepancies between the nearside lunar nomenclature of the current [[IAU%20Planetary%20Gazetteer|IAU Planetary Gazetteer]] and the nearside earlier nomenclature archived in ''SP-241'':<br /> <br /> <br />

=Sun Angle=<br />
(glossary entry)<br /> <div id="toc"><br />
<br /> <br />
==Description==<br />
The angle of the Sun above (positive) or below (negative) the local horizontal as viewed from a lunar surface feature.<br /> <br /> <br />
==Additional Information==<br />
* '''Sun angle''' is determined by the Sun's position as viewed from the Moon, and does not depend on the direction from which the Moon is being viewed.<br />
* '''Sun angle''' conventionally refers to the elevation of the Sun's center. Since the Sun's angular size as seen in the lunar sky is about 0.5° (essentially the same as its size as seen from Earth), the Sun's upper [[limb|limb]] will typically be above the '''sun angle''' by about 0.25°, while the lower limb will be below it by the same amount.<br />
* In addition to the '''sun angle''' a second parameter is required to completely describe the direction of the incident sunlight: this is the Sun's '''azimuth''', which is defined as the angular direction of the rays as observed from directly over the feature of interest, usually expressed as the angle measured clockwise relative to a line drawn from the feature towards the Moon's north pole.<br />
* The "local horizontal" mentioned in the definition is the plane perpendicular to a radial line drawn from the Moon's center through the point of interest. The actual horizon will be above or below this plane by an amount that varies with azimuth. Local sunrise or sunset occurs when the Sun's upper limb is coincident with the actual horizon. Hence sunrise and sunset occur when the '''sun angle''' is positive or negative by an amount depending on the Sun's azimuth, sometimes by several degrees.<br />
* The appearance of lunar surface features can change drastically with '''sun angle''', and, usually to a much lesser extent, as seen from different viewing angles. At a given '''sun angle''', the Sun's azimuth can also be important, especially for features like [[rima|rilles]], which can become invisible when the Sun's azimuth is along the direction of the channel.<br />
* The '''sun angle''' can be determined by using the rules of spherical trigonometry or vector math applied to radial lines drawn from the Moon's center through the [[subsolar%20point|subsolar point]] and the feature of interest. The angle between these lines is the Sun's distance from the local zenith, and subtracting this from 90° gives the '''sun angle'''.<br />
* Programs like [[LTVT|LTVT]] automatically calculate and display the '''sun angle''' (and azimuth) based on the stated date/time and feature of interest.<br />
<br /> <br />
==A Sun Angle Calculator==<br />
<br />
* The following [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Excel Excel] spreadsheet can be used to compute the '''sun angle''' at any longitude and latitude on the Moon given the coordinates of the [[subsolar%20point|subsolar point]] at the moment of interest. The coordinates of the [[subsolar%20point|subsolar point]] can be determined using [[JPL%20Horizons|JPL Horizons]].<br />
** <div class="objectEmbed">[[media:Sun_Angle_Calculator.xls]]<div><br /><br />
<br /> <br />
<br />
* The spreadsheet also gives the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_circle great circle] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great-circle_distance arc length] between the sub-solar point and the feature of interest both in degrees and kilometers. This angle is an intermediate result used for calculating the sun angle. By entering the coordinates of a second feature of interest as an artificial "sub-solar" point, this can be used for calculating the length and direction of the arcs connecting any two points of interest.<br />

==Alfred Worden's chain==<br />
<br />
* At about one hundred kilometres west-northwest of '''Gruithuisen''' is a chain of 30 teardrop-shaped craterlets, once photographed by CMP Alfred Worden of Apollo 15. One of these orbital color Hasselblad-photographs appeared on page 252 of the article ''TO THE MOUNTAINS OF THE MOON'' by Kenneth F. Weaver, ''NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE'', february 1972. There's a total of 6 Hasselblads of that chain. These are: AS15-93-12724 to 12729 (Magazine P/93). One of them ([http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS15-93-12725 AS15-93-12725]) shows both the chain (centre of photo) and concentric crater '''Gruithuisen K''' in the upper right corner.<span class="membersnap">- DannyCaes <small>Nov 10, 2008</small></span><br />

* The cluster of bowl-shaped craterlets north-northwest of '''Gruithuisen''' (south-southwest of '''Gruithuisen Zeta''') is nicknamed '''''Gruithuisen's mob''''' by Danny Caes (see photo [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS15-93-12719 AS15-93-12719]). This cluster (and also the chain near '''Gruithuisen K''') is a very interesting target for today's webcam-imagers of the moon's surface.<span class="membersnap">- DannyCaes <small>Nov 10, 2008</small></span><br />
* Lunar Orbiter 5's [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/lunarorbiter/frame/?5183 Frame 183] shows a wonderful vertical view of the Gruithuisen complex ('''Mons Gruithuisen Delta''' and '''Gamma''', the teardrop-shaped chain near the concentric crater '''Gruithuisen K''' (near the photograph's upper left corner), and the craterlet-cluster near '''Gruithuisen Zeta''').<span class="membersnap">- DannyCaes <small>Nov 10, 2008</small></span><br />

==Transient Lunar Phenomena near Lichtenberg==<br />
<br />
* During the history of lunar observing, many reddish (or pink-colored) glows have been observed near crater '''Lichtenberg'''. One observation of such a red coloration (related to '''Lichtenberg''' and its environs) is described in Harold Hill's book ''A Portfolio of Lunar Drawings''. This description is also online in the page [[Colored%20regions|Colored Regions on the Moon's Surface (Part 1)]]. <span class="membersnap">- DannyCaes <small>Nov 10, 2008</small></span><br />
<br /> <br />
==''Dorsa Nielsen-Rumker''==<br />
<br />
* The eastern part of this map is occupied by an officially unnamed (yet pronounced) system of wrinkle ridges, running from '''Nielsen''' (near the map's lower right corner) to '''Mons Rumker''' (a little above center of the right margin). An impressive orbital photograph of this wrinkle ridge was made during the mission of Apollo 15 in the summer of 1971. See: [http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/alsj/a15/AS15-88-11983.jpg AS15-88-11983]. <span class="membersnap">- DannyCaes <small>Nov 20, 2008</small></span><br />
* One could only guess why there is no officially recognized name for that system of wrinkle ridges (it is an eye-catching telescopic object, especially during local sunrise or sunset circumstances!). <span class="membersnap">- DannyCaes <small>Oct 2, 2015</small></span><br />

This is the region of the curious clair-obscur phenomenon '''''Hayn-Bel'kovich shadow''''', always observable one or two days before Full Moon, when the morning terminator is close to the western limb, but... it's a ''wrong'' shadow because its appearance is too soon, it should be visible about one or two days AFTER Full Moon!<br /> <span class="membersnap">- DannyCaes <small>Sep 12, 2015</small></span><br /><br />

==The rugbyball shaped crater Gartner M==<br />
<br />
* A peculiar "egg" or "rugbyball" shaped craterlet is noticeable at 55°30' North/ 37° East ('''Gartner M'''; south-southeast of the bay-shaped crater '''Gartner''' in '''Mare Frigoris'''). Note its appearance on page 26 (LAC 13) of Ben Bussey's and Paul Spudis's ''Clementine Atlas of the Moon.'' While browsing through the Clementine atlas, one shall notice many more of these "egg"-shaped craterlets, on the moon's Far Side.<span class="membersnap">- DannyCaes <small>Nov 10, 2008</small></span><br />
<br /> <br />
==The Strabo boundary==<br />
<br />
* According to the Dutch connoisseur of the moon A.J.M.Wanders, the boundary between Riccioli's '''Terra Siccitatis''' and '''Terra Vitae''' runs between '''Strabo''' and the trio '''Strabo L, B, N'''. To see this boundary, one should get a copy of the moonmap made by A.J.M.Wanders (this map was included in his book ''Op Ontdekking in het Maanland'', 1949). It is not known if Riccioli (in his day) decided to add boundaries between his Terra regions, but... A.J.M.Wanders did... <span class="membersnap">- DannyCaes <small>Jan 16, 2016</small></span><br />

==de Ulloa==<br />
<br />
* '''de Ulloa''' (plate [http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b2600117x.item.f68.langEN T. LXXIII]) (name first used by Van Langren). This formation is limbward of Schröter's "'''Thales'''", which in turn appears to be the modern [http://the-moon.us/wiki/Strabo Strabo]. Schröter's "'''de Ulloa'''" is most likely [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_de_Ulloa Antonio de Ulloa] (1716–1795) who participated in the French expedition to Ecuador to measure the length of an arc of the terrestrial meridian.

==Montes Teneriffe and its individual peaks, named by J.Lee and W.R.Birt==<br />
John Lee (1864) suggested naming the individual peaks of '''Montes Teneriffe''' (note the change, not corrected for in the quote, in [http://the-moon.us/wiki/IAU%20directions lunar directions] since this was written)''':'''<br /> ''"These mountains are each designated by a Teneriffian appellation. A fine rock, equal to "[http://the-moon.us/wiki/Mons%20Pico Pico]," and westward of "[http://the-moon.us/wiki/Piazzi%20Smyth Piazzi Smyth]," is called "[http://the-moon.us/wiki/Mons%20Piton Piton]"; those south and north of "[http://the-moon.us/wiki/Mons%20Pico Pico]," "'''Guajara'''" and "'''Rambleta'''"; a fine branching chain east of "'''Rambleta'''," "'''Alta Vista'''"; and a rock N.E. of "'''Rambleta'''," "'''Chajorra'''." "''<br /> William Radcliff [http://the-moon.us/wiki/Birt Birt] (1864) gives the name '''Petora''', but omits '''Piton'''. Since [http://the-moon.us/wiki/Piazzi%20Smyth Piazzi Smyth] is explained there as "a small crater near [http://the-moon.us/wiki/Kirch Kirch], it is between '''Petora''' and '''Guajara'''" it sounds like Birt is using '''Petora''' as an alternative spelling for Lee's '''Piton'''.<br /> <u>Note</u>: '''Piton''', '''Alta Vista''', '''Chajorra''', '''Guajara''', and '''Rambleta''' all figure prominently in Piazzi Smyth's [http://books.google.com/books?id=TmsPAAAAYAAJ book]. There does not appear to be any mention of '''Petora''' or the earlier name '''Pico''', however in his book [http://the-moon.us/wiki/Johann%20Schr%C3%B6ter Johann Schröter] repeatedly compares his [http://the-moon.us/wiki/Mons%20Pico Pico] to the "Pico aus Tenerifa," so it is presumably a reference to what Piazzi Smyth calls "the Peak of Teneriffe" (the modern [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teide Teide]?).<br /> Research: Jim Mosher.<br /><br />
