Description

This is another small crater that should never have been given a name. It had a perfectly good letter designation, and this crater is a disgrace to a giant of a scientist. It is a fresh simple crater with bright walls. - tychocrater tychocrater Jul 16, 2007

Additional Information


Nomenclature

  • Named for Thomas Henry Huxley PC, FRS (4 May 1825– 29 June 1895), an English biologist, known as "Darwin's Bulldog" for his advocacy of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.
  • In the original IAU nomenclature of Named Lunar Formations, this previously unnamed crater was regarded as a satellite feature of Wallace and given the designation Wallace B (Catalog no. 1294b).
  • The former lettered name was replaced with Huxley for use as the title of LTO chart 41D2 (May 1974), where it is announced as "approved by the IAU." Although the name appears in the cumulative list of IAU Transactions XVB (1973), it is not clear precisely when it was approved (presumably 1973). Biographical information was unofficially reported in Ashbrook, 1974.
