Reidel - Dordrecht

Farside map of Reidel - Dordrecht

An additional exploration and investigation of a farside map drawn by Antonin Rukl, by Danny Caes

• Note: this page appears to refer to the farside map from Rükl's set of six hemispheric maps of the Moon published in 1972

Alphabetic list of erroneous locations and absent nomenclature
- Although the Reidel's map of 1972 shows many of the IAU's official names (it is still a valuable source for those who want to explore the moon's farside via a map printed on paper), the alphabetic list below shows how much of them were not included during pre-press activities, or were printed at wrong locations.
- Was there ever an updated version of this map? (printed in the 80's, 90's, or 00's?).- DannyCaes DannyCaes Jun 27, 2010
- Many thanks to Jim Mosher, the explorer and investigator of the IAU's activities in official lunar nomenclature. A huge amount of Jim's research is already online in many pages of the Moon-Wiki project!- DannyCaes DannyCaes Jul 11, 2010
