Nomenclature
- Named for Carl Wilhelm Scheele (December 9, 1742 - May 21, 1786) a German-Swedish pharmaceutical chemist who was the discoverer of many chemical substances, most notably discovering oxygen before Joseph Priestley and chlorine before Humphry Davy. In addition to his joint recognition for the discovery of oxygen, Scheele is argued to have been the first to discover many other chemical elements. In addition, he discovered a process similar to pasteurization, along with a means of mass-producing phosphorus (1769), allowing Sweden to become one of the world's leading producers of matches.
- This replacement name for a formerly [/lettered%20crater lettered crater] was introduced on LTO-75C1 (for which it served as the chart title). - JimMosher JimMosher
- The crater officially known as Scheele is called Letronne Ab on Chart 66 of the Times Atlas of the Moon.- DannyCaes DannyCaes Nov 23, 2009
Scheele Arc and Scheele Hills
- A curious arc (the remains of a large crater) east of Scheele is unofficially called Scheele Arc by D.Caes. Three sections of the rim of this large crater were once called Wichmann Delta, Wichmann Rho, and Euclides Epsilon (see chart SLC E5) (System of Lunar Craters, 1966).
- The officially unnamed cluster of low hills west of Scheele is called Scheele Hills by D.Caes. The most northern member of these hills was called Letronne Pi (see SLC E5).
