Description
Ancient Newton is the informal name for the ghost ring illustrated above, extending from the south rim of [/Plato Plato], on the north, to [/Mons%20Pico Mons Pico], on the south.
Description: Elger
([/IAU%20Directions IAU Directions])
PLATO.-- ... On the [/Mare%20Imbrium Mare Imbrium] S. of [/Plato Plato] is a large area enclosed by low ridges, to which [/Johann%20Schr%C3%B6ter Schroter] gave the name "Newton." It suggests the idea that it represents the ruin of a once imposing enclosure, of which the conspicuous mountain [/Mons%20Pico Pico] formed a part.
MOUNTAIN RINGS.--These objects, usually encircled by a low and broken border, seldom more than a few hundred feet in height, are closely allied to the walled-plains. ... The curious formation on the [/Mare%20Imbrium Mare Imbrium] immediately south of [/Plato Plato] (called "Newton" by [/Johann%20Schr%C3%B6ter Schroter]), may be placed in this category ... these features have the appearance of having once been formations of a much more prominent and important character, which have suffered destruction, more or less complete, through being partially overwhelmed by the material of the "seas."
Additional Information
Nomenclature
- The ghost crater immediately south of [/Plato Plato] was called [/Newton Newton] by [/Johann%20Schr%C3%B6ter Johann Schröter] (see his illustration).
- That name was reassigned to a odd feature near the South Pole by [/Beer%20and%20M%C3%A4dler Beer and Mädler], who referred to the present formation as Schröter's Newton. Schröter's ghost later became known as Ancient Newton (see, for example, [/A%20Portfolio%20of%20Lunar%20Drawings Harold Hill], page 62). I don't know who first called it that. - tychocrater tychocrater Jul 15, 2010
