In fact, there's a lot of Apollo 10 photographs in which the name of the bright crater '''Censorinus''' should be mentioned!<br />  - Farside crater '''Congreve''' is mentioned as '''Congeve''' (without '''r''') in the red-labeled scan of Lunar Orbiter 1's frame [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/lunar_orbiter/images/aimg/i_028_m.jpg 028-M].<br /> '''D'''<br />  - Although the name '''DOYLE''' (an unofficial LTO-related name) is not included in the LPI's alphabetical gazetteer, it is added in [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/lunar_orbiter/images/aimg/iv_018_h1.jpg LOIV-018-h1].<br /> '''E'''<br />  - '''Eddington''' and '''Seleucus''' in Apollo 15's ''Fairchild'' camera frame [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS15-M-2622 AS15-M-2622] ??

No, it's '''Euler E''' (aka '''''Firdausi''''', according to LTO map [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/mapcatalog/LTO/lto39b3_1/ 39B3]). Euler F's location is southeast of Euler, while Euler E's location is west-northwest of Euler.<br /> '''F'''<br />  - It's quite easy to name a certain region on the moon's farside "'''FARSIDE'''", see: [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS13-60-8662 AS13-60-8662].<br />  - Although they are one and the same crater, the LPI knows [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/search/feature/?feature=Feuillee&sort= Feuillee] and...

The first frame shows the region of crater '''Kuiper''' in '''Mare Cognitum''', the "stereo-companion" frame shows the region near crater '''Ritchey'''. One should have the eyes of a chameleon to see something of a stereo-effect in these two frames. Much more troublesome: a stereo-effect is impossible up here, certainly impossible in two totally different photographs!<br /> '''L'''<br />  - [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/lunar_orbiter/images/aimg/ii_196_m.jpg Red labeled Lunar Orbiter 2 photograph LO-II 196 m] shows the name '''"Lacus Solitudinus"'''.

The frames of the '''Langrenus'''-'''Webb''' sector at '''Mare Fecunditatis''' are kind of mix'd-up, because '''Webb''''s stereoscopic frames are all in the [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/catalog/pan/revolution/?AS16R47Cf REV 47 FORWARD FACING CAMERA] magazine.

('''Liouville''' is a nearside crater).<br /> '''M'''<br />  - The double crater '''Maestlin G''' in [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS12-54-8107 AS12-54-8107] ? No, it was captured in frame [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS12-54-8109 8109].<br />  - At the LPI, nearside crater '''Manilius''' seems to be known as [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/search/feature/?feature=Manilus&sort= Manilus].

No, it's raycrater '''Petit''' at the northwestern border of '''Mare Spumans'''.<br />  - None of the five Apollo 10 photographs mentioned in the LPI's list of [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/search/feature/?feature=Mare%20Moscoviense Mare Moscoviense] show this Far Side area, because these photographs show the Near Side's SOUTHEASTERN part!<br />  - Was '''Mare Nubium''' (located on the near side of the moon's southern hemisphere) photographed by Apollo 17's metric/mapping ''Fairchild'' camera? Although it is impossible, according to the LPI, it ('''Mare Nubium''') should be visible on Apollo 17's photographs of the '''Eratosthenes'''-region near '''Mare Imbrium''', see: lower part of list in [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/search/feature/?feature=Mare%20Nubium Mare Nubium].<br />  - '''Mare Smythii''' in [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS10-30-4493 AS10-30-4493]? I don't think so, it's '''Mare Spumans'''. Several frames preceding AS10-30-4493 show the caption "'''Mare Smythii'''", although they all show the regions west of it.<br />  - The first two Apollo photographs in the LPI's list of '''Mare Spumans''' ([http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS10-27-3911 AS10-27-3911], [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS10-27-3912 3912]) show '''Lacus Solitudinis''', '''Mare Australe''', and '''Humboldt''', and <u>CERTAINLY NOT</u> '''Mare Spumans'''! Gentlemen, it is '''LACUS Solitudinis''', not just "'''Solitudinis'''"!<br />  - '''Marinus''' in [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS14-75-10304 AS14-75-10304] ? This photograph shows '''Mare Crisium''' and '''Mare Smythii''', but... no '''Marinus''' (perhaps it must have been '''Mare Marginis''').<br />  - '''Maskelyne G''' in [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS11-42-6326 AS11-42-6326]? No, it's '''Moltke''' and '''Rima Hypatia''' (aka '''''U.S. Highway Number One''''').<br />  - [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS10-29-4307 AS10-29-4307] needs the caption '''Maskelyne G''', '''Maskelyne X''' (nearby crater).<br />  - [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS10-29-4256 AS10-29-4256] needs the caption '''Messier''', '''Messier A''', '''Messier B'''.<br />  - "'''Messier'''" should be '''Messier G''' ('''Lindbergh''') in [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS16-M-2434 AS16-M-2434], [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS16-M-2435 2435], and [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS16-M-2436 2436].<br />  - [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS10-29-4324 AS10-29-4324] and [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS10-31-4537 AS10-31-4537] need the caption '''Moltke'''.<br />  - The neighborhood of '''Mons La Hire''', okay, but, do they really know where they are? East? South? West? See caption of frame [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS17-P-3097 AS17-P-3097].<br />  - <u>East</u> of '''Mons La Hire'''? Totally wrong, because frame [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS17-P-3094 AS17-P-3094] shows the region '''<u>SOUTH</u>''' of '''Mons La Hire'''.<br /> '''N'''<br /> '''O'''<br /> '''P'''<br />  - Do you know a certain lunar surface formation which is called '''Pan'''?

The second one ('''Papaleksi''') is the real one. The first one ('''''Papaleski''''') is a typographical error (one of many).<br />  - [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/lunar_orbiter/images/aimg/v_015_h2.jpg Red labeled Lunar Orbiter 5 photograph LO-V 015 h2] shows the name "'''Parengo'''" near the frame's upper left corner.

This photograph shows the bright raycrater '''Petit''', which is NOT located south of the moon's equator!<br />  - [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/search/feature/?feature=PIERCE&sort= "Pierce"] should be '''Peirce'''.<br />  - Is it '''Priestley''' or '''Priestly'''? In fact, it's '''Priestley''', at the LPI known as "'''Priestly'''", see [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/lunar_orbiter/images/aimg/iv_009_h1.jpg red-labeled scan of LO4-009-h1]. And YES, I'm a VERY difficult person.<br />  - Is there a surface formation officially known as [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/search/feature/?feature=PROMINENCE+EPSILON&sort= PROMINENCE EPSILON] ???<br />  - The first two frames in the LPI's list of orbital Apollo photographs of [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/search/feature/?feature=Ptolemaeus Ptolemaeus] show totally wrong captions, because both Apollo 10 photographs were made at the moon's farside; the region east of '''Joliot''' and '''Lomonosov'''!<br /> '''Q'''<br /> '''R'''<br />  - Apollo 14's Command Module Pilot (CMP Stuart Roosa) seems to have photographed a crater called "'''''RALISA'''''", see lower caption at [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS14-73-10105 AS14-73-10105]. Now, shouldn't that be '''Palisa'''?<br />  - Several Lunar-Orbiter photographs show crater '''Réaumur''', the LPI only knows of "[http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/lunar_orbiter/bin/srch_nam.shtml?Reumur%7C0 REUMUR]".<br />  - The coordinates mentioned below Apollo 11's ''Hasselblad'' [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS11-42-6299 AS11-42-6299] are totally wrong. This photograph shows crater '''Respighi''' at 2.8° North/ 71.9° East, and not at 2° North/ 110.5° East! ('''Respighi''' is a nearside crater).<br />  - "[http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/search/feature/?feature=Rheinhold&sort= Rheinhold]" should be '''Reinhold''' (without h after the R).<br />  - Farside crater '''Richardson''' in a Lunar Orbiter IV photograph of the '''Naumann'''/'''Schiaparelli''' region at the nearside plains of '''Oceanus Procellarum'''? See [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/lunar_orbiter/bin/info.shtml?466 the list in this page].<br />  - Do you know a certain lunar formation which received the official name '''Rilles'''? See: [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/search/feature/?feature=Rilles&sort= RILLES].<br />  - [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS15-95-12870 AS15-95-12870] doesn't show '''Rima Sharp''', it's '''Rima Mairan'''.<br /> '''S'''<br />  - The name '''''SAFAVRIK''''' (see: [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/lunar_orbiter/bin/srch_nam.shtml?Safavrik%7C0 Safavrik]) should be '''Safarik''' (without '''v''').<br />  - The [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/lunar_orbiter/images/aimg/ii_034_m.jpg red labeled Lunar Orbiter 2 photograph LO-II 034 Med] shows the name '''Safarik''' (as "'''Safa<u>v</u>rik'''") at the location of crater '''Virtanen''', which is too northward! (south-southeast of '''Lacus Luxuriae''' and '''Buys-Ballot'''). '''Safarik''''s location is east-southeast of '''Sharonov''', and north of '''Tiselius'''.<br />  - The same "'''Safa<u>v</u>rik'''" error on the red-labeled [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/lunar_orbiter/images/aimg/ii_034_h1.jpg LO-II 034 h1].<br />  - [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS15-88-11964 AS15-88-11964] doesn't show the eastern limb crater '''Schorr''', it's the pair of craters '''Taruntius N''' and '''Taruntius O''' in '''Mare Fecunditatis''', of which '''Taruntius N''' is also known as '''Smithson'''.<br />  - Frame [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS10-29-4261 AS10-29-4261] needs the caption '''Secchi K'''.<br />  - [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/lunar_orbiter/images/aimg/v_158_m.jpg Red labeled Lunar Orbiter 5 photograph LO-V 158 m] shows the name "'''Seges'''". This should be '''Sege<u>r</u>s'''.<br />  - Each one of the orbital photographs of [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/search/feature/?feature=Sharonov Sharonov] made by APOLLO 11 show a totally different region on the moon! They show the region near '''Mare Smythii''' and '''Hume'''!<br />  - Apollo 11's orbital ''Hasselblad'' photograph [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS11-42-6317 AS11-42-6317] shows an oblique southward view of '''Sinas''', and not '''''Maskelyne B''''' as mentioned below the photograph.<br />  - '''Sinus Medii''' in [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS10-32-4777 AS10-32-4777] ?? No, it's crater '''Rhaeticus'''.<br />  - '''SPACE''' is seen in [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS16-118-18908 AS16-118-18908]. According to the LPI this is the only one of the many Apollo photographs which shows "space".<br />  - '''Sulpicius Gallus, northeast of''' ([http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS17-151-23219 AS17-151-23219]), should be: '''Sulpicius Gallus, north<u>west</u> of'''.<br /> <br /> '''Stereo photography, typos, and mixed up ID-numbers:'''<br />  - It must be difficult to write the word STEREO, mentioned as "STERO" in the captions below Apollo 12's photographs [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS12-56B-8326 AS12-56B-8326], [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS12-56B-8393 AS12-56B-8393], and [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS12-56B-8433 AS12-56B-8433].<br />  - The stereo companion of Apollo 17's panoramic ''ITEK''-camera frame [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS17-P-2932 AS17-P-2932] seems to be... the same. See caption below the photograph. In fact, it should be [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS17-P-2927 AS17-P-2927].<br />  - According to the LPI, the stereo companion of [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS17-P-3016 AS17-P-3016] ('''Cajal''') is...

It looks like earth's moon is a very chaotic and unknown celestial body! I guess there are much more organized photographic atlases for the moons of distant planets Uranus or Neptune.

Strange to say, one of the craters on planet '''Mars''' is indeed called '''Troy'''. There's no such name ('''Troy''') on the lunar surface! The lunar crater which was erroneously called "'''Troy'''" is, in fact, '''Titov'''.<br />  - '''Tsiolkovskiy'''? ([http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS13-60-8632 AS13-60-8632]).

However, the coordinates mentioned below the photograph are: 6.8° South/ 91° East, which is very near the eastern limb of the moon's Near Side! (near '''Mare Smythii''').<br />  Anyway, where on the moon is the depicted area? The answer: the bright crater with the radial streaks on its inner slopes (near the frame's left margin) is '''HUME Z''' (the LTO's "'''''Li Po'''''"). The coordinates are correct.

 (several typographical errors in the descriptions of non-lunar Apollo photographs):<br />  - Apollo 12's wonderful ''Hasselblad'' photograph of Earth's thin crescent ([http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS12-51-7581 AS12-51-7581]) has a rather curious and erroneous description below it. It says: '''''Almost Total Eclipse of Earth'''''. It's not the ''Earth'', it's the '''<u>SUN</u>''' which could be totally eclipsed!<br />  - Apollo 12's impressive ''Hasselblad'' photograph [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS12-51-7587 AS12-51-7587] shows the VERY thin crescent of planet Earth, with the sun's glare and inter-lens reflection in and near the frame's upper left corner. Why do the folks of the LPI describe it (this photograph) as a '''''SOLAR ECLIPSE''''' ???<br />  - Apollo 13's B-and-W photograph [http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS13-59-8484 AS13-59-8484] shows astronaut James Lovell in the LM, and <u>'''NOT'''</u> Jack Swigert in the CM!<br /> <br /> 
=='''The detection of an error in one of Apollo 16's original LEVA-traverse maps'''==
 The name '''STONE MOUNTAIN''' near the upper right corner of [http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/alsj/a16/a16.lsp265-s.jpg this map] should be '''SMOKY MOUNTAIN'''.<br /> <br /> 
=='''Flag shadow from lunar module window'''==
 Thus the description below two photographs made through one of the two triangular windows of Apollo 11's LM Eagle.<br />  I must say, I don't see the shadow of the flag.<br /> http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS11-37-5526<br /> http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS11-37-5527<br /> <br /> 
==Interior or Exterior?==
 "SPACECRAFT INTERIOR; ALDRIN; ASTRONAUT" (??).<br />  No, it's: <u>SPACECRAFT EXTERIOR</u> (of Command Module ''Columbia'').<br /> http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/frame/?AS11-36-5394<br /> <br /> <br /> 
==TRANQUILLITY or TRANQUILITY? (2 L or 1 L ?)==
http://www.lpi.usra.edu/resources/apollo/search/feature/?feature=tranquility+base&sort=<br /> <br /> '''There are much more errors in certain digital lunar atlases, these errors are:'''<br />  - The small depression '''Ann''' (at '''Palus Putredinis''', near '''Kathleen''') shows incomplete coordinates. Is '''Ann''' a northern or a southern formation? (north or south of the lunar equator?).<br />  - The small craterlet '''Cinco''' (near the landingsite of Apollo 16) is located ten degrees too southward, east of '''Geber'''.<br />  - The small formation '''Diana''' has a totally wrong diameter: 50 kilometer.<br />  - The small craterlet '''Felix''' (between '''Euler''' and '''Lambert''') at the location of '''Fedorov''' near '''Mons Delisle'''.<br />  - The small D-shaped formation '''Ina''' (on '''Lacus Felicitatis''') at the location of the southern crater '''Ideler'''.<br />  - The small curved depression '''Jomo''' (also near '''Rima Hadley''' and '''Taizo''') a couple of degrees to the west of the 0° meridian (instead of: to the east).<br />  - The small nearside crater '''Kathleen''' at the location of farside crater '''Katchalsky'''.<br />  - The small craterlet '''Priscilla''' (at '''Catena Davy''') has no coordinates at all! (0° 00' N / 0° 00' E).<br />  - Crater '''Ramsden''' shows the same phenomenon as '''Priscilla''': no coordinates (0° 00' N / 0° 00' E).<br />  - The small craterlet '''Ravi''' (on the floor of '''Alphonsus''') ten degrees more southward than its true location (south of '''Alphonsus''').<br />  - The small elongated depression '''Rima Sung-Mei''' (part of '''Aratus CA''') has a totally wrong diameter: 40 kilometer.<br />  - The small craterlet '''Stella''' (near '''Mons Argaeus''') has a totally wrong diameter: 36 kilometer.<br />  - The small curved depression '''Taizo''' (near '''Rima Hadley''') at the location of crater '''Tacquet''' on the southern part of '''Mare Serenitatis'''.<br />  - There are also several erroneous locations of the LTO's names, such as '''Austen''', '''Fossa Casals''', etc... etc...<br /> <br />  Much more typographical errors could be detected in the ''Clementine Atlas of the Moon'' by Ben Bussey and Paul Spudis (Cambridge University Press). A huge list of already detected typographical errors is online in the page [http://the-moon.us/wiki/Clementine%20Atlas%20Corrections Clementine Atlas Corrections].<br /> <br /> <span class="membersnap">- DannyCaes <small>May 13, 2010</small></span></div>
