Additional Information
- IAU page: Runge
- Depth data from Kurt Fisher database
- Pike, 1976: 0.23 km
- There seems to be a Skylight in or near the floor of crater Runge, a survey of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter's (LRO's) NAC images is needed.
Nomenclature
- Named for Carl David Tolme Runge (1856-1927), a German mathematician.
- This name appears on LTO-81B2 (for which it served as the chart title). It does not appear to replace any previous IAU-approved designation. Although it appears in the cumulative list of approved names printed in IAU Transactions XVB, when and how it came to be approved is not entirely clear from the IAU record. Biographical information was unofficially reported in Ashbrook, 1974. - JimMosher JimMosher
- Perhaps interesting to know that there was also a Philipp Otto Runge (1777-1810), the inventor of the "Farbenkugel" (color sphere). - DannyCaes DannyCaes Jan 23, 2014
