Additional Information
Nomenclature
Dean Benjamin McLaughlin (October 25, 1901 - December 8, 1965) was an American astronomer. In 1954 he proposed the theory that there are volcanoes on Mars and that their eruptions change the albedo features called "mare" (The martian equivalent of Lunar mare). Today we know that there are indeed (most likely currently inactive) volcanoes on Mars, however they are not the cause for any changes on its surface.
- Erroneously printed as McLaughin (without the second "l") on page 78 (libration chart 7) in the 21st Century Atlas of the Moon (2012).- DannyCaes DannyCaes Jan 23, 2013
