Nomenclature
- Named for Chester Burleigh Watts (1889-1971), an American astronomer who spent many years preparing detailed charts of the topography of the Moon's [/limb limb] (as seen from Earth).
- This replacement name for a formerly [/lettered%20crater lettered crater] was introduced on LTO-61B3 (for which it served as the chart title). It appears in the cumulative list of approved names in [/IAU%20Transactions%20XVB IAU Transactions XVB] (1973). Since it does not appear in any prior [/IAU%20Transactions IAU Transactions], it was probably approved at the 1973 meeting. Biographical information was unofficially reported in [/Ashbrook%2C%201974 Ashbrook, 1974]. - JimMosher JimMosher
