Army Map Service, 1964 An interpretation of the [/Liebig Liebig] [/rima rilles] listed in [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations] (1935). Liebig Ir is pictured near the western shore of [/Mare%20Humorum Mare Humorum], somewhat close to the modern [/Rupes%20Liebig Rupes Liebig]. Liebig IIr and IIIr are pictured to the southwest of [/Liebig Liebig].

Description
Description: Wikipedia
Additional Information
- Liebig Ir (in the nomenclature of [/Blagg%20and%20M%C3%BCller Blagg and Müller] is described in some detail in a 1965 article by William Quaide (see references). In that article, it is noted that in parts it looks like a "normal fault" (the modern [/Rupes%20Liebig Rupes Liebig]), and north of that like a conventional rille (that portion currently being assigned to [/Rimae%20Mersenius Rimae Mersenius]).
Nomenclature
- Named after the nearby crater ([/Liebig Liebig]).
- Mary Blagg's [/Collated%20List Collated List] of 1913 included a number of rilles associated with [/Mersenius Mersenius], [/Cavendish Cavendish], [/Liebig Liebig] and [/De%20Gasparis De Gasparis].
- Three of these rilles, catalog entries 2172, 2173, and 2185, were assigned to [/Liebig Liebig] in [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations] (1935). Their descriptions lean heavily of the maps and Greek-lettered designations of [/Neison%2C%201876 Neison]. Unfortunately Neison's maps, and his labeling of them, is highly ambiguous.
- No rilles were associated with [/Liebig Liebig] on the [/Quad%20Maps Quad Maps] of the [/System%20of%20Lunar%20Craters System of Lunar Craters]. Liebig Ir of [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations] appears to have become [/Rupes%20Liebig Rupes Liebig]. Liebig IIr is possibly [/Rimae%20de%20Gasparis Rima De Gasparis I]; the fate of Liebig IIIr is uncertain.
- The [/System%20of%20Lunar%20Craters System of Lunar Craters] also introduced the term [/rima rimae] for describing multiple rille systems as a whole; however since no rilles were assigned to [/Liebig Liebig] at that time, this term never really applied to Liebig Ir, IIr, and IIIr.
- Nonetheless, Rimae Liebig was listed as a "dropped" IAU name in the first editions of the [/IAU%20Planetary%20Gazetteer IAU Planetary Gazetteer], and continues to be listed that way in the on-line version.
