Additional Information


Nomenclature

  • Named after the nearby crater. (Aristarchus)
  • Numbers 60, 61, 62, 64, and 69 in Debra Hurwitz's Atlas and Catalog of Sinuous Rilles.
  • The original IAU nomenclature of Blagg and Müller (1939) seems to have included three Roman-numeralled "clefts" associated with Aristarchus, although the Army Map Service's LTM map series identifies the position of only one of these -- Aristarchus III -- which seems to correspond to the deep groove above and to the right of the Roman numeral I label in the Lunar Orbiter image at the top of this page (between the craters now known as Väisälä and Aristarchus B). In the early 1960's, the IAU-sanctioned revisions of the System of Lunar Craters and LAC map series increased the number of named components to eight (as illustrated in the Lunar Orbiter image at the top of this page) and Latinized the name of the overall system to Rimae Aristarchus. However, in 1973 the IAU declared its intention to assign rimae "new and more appropriate designations" (IAU Transactions XVB). It is unclear if the IAU's Roman-numeralled designations shown here remain operative pending the promised renaming, which seems never to have happened.
