Necho

Additional Information

  • Depth data from Kurt Fisher database
    • Pike, 1976: 3.3 km
  • Exterior impact melt deposits most extensive to NE, max of ~12 km beyond rim, and topographically lowest rim crest to NE (Hawke and Head, 1977).
  • Oblique impact crater based on rim profile (Forsberg, Herrick & Bussey, 2008).
  • In NASA SP-232 (Analysis of Apollo 10 Photography and Visual Observations) it (crater Necho) is mentioned as Target of Opportunity N°45 (T/O 45).


Nomenclature

  • Named for Necho II, a king of the Twenty-sixth dynasty of Egypt (610 - 595 BC), and the son of Psammetichus I. Necho played a significant role in the histories of the Assyrian Empire, Babylonia and the Kingdom of Judah. According to Farouk El-Baz, Necho was also a pioneer geographer who commissioned a successful three-year naval expedition to show that Africa was surrounded by water on all sides.
  • This name was officially proposed (and claimed to be accepted) by El-Baz in an article appearing in the journal Science in 1973. The feature to which he attached this name was a purported 200-km diameter crater centered at 3°S/125°E and including the present Becvár, among others.
  • Necho was was among the crater names approved "as assigned on the moon" in IAU Transactions XVIB (1976), however the position was given as 5.0°S, 123.0°E, an apparent reference to the present crater rather than to the larger one described by El-Baz.
  • The crater officially known as Necho was informally called Roosa on page 28-9 (figure 28-8) of NASA's APOLLO 17 PRELIMINARY SCIENCE REPORT. On that photograph (fig 28-8) the name Necho was printed on a nameless crater west of Becvár. Research: Danny Caes. Roosa was possibly Stuart Roosa (1933-1994), NASA astronaut, Command Module Pilot of Apollo 14.
  • In Chapter 5 (Craters, part 4 of 6) of NASA SP-362 APOLLO OVER THE MOON; A VIEW FROM ORBIT, it is noted that Necho was nicknamed "The Bright One" by the astronauts of Apollo 14. Research: Danny Caes.
