Nomenclature

Charles Wesley; American astronomer (1872-1954).
  • This name appears on LTO-81C1. It does not appear to replace any previous IAU-approved designation. Although it appears in the cumulative list of approved names printed in [/IAU%20Transactions%20XVB IAU Transactions XVB], when and how it came to be approved is not entirely clear from the IAU record. - JimMosher JimMosher
  • According to LTO 81-C1, a crater south of Elmer is called Novalis. Who was Novalis? See this Wikipedia-page.
