Nomenclature
- Named for Francis William Aston (September 1, 1877 - November 20, 1945), a British chemist and physicist who won the 1922 Nobel Prize in Chemistry "for his discovery, by means of his mass spectrograph, of isotopes, in a large number of non-radioactive elements, and for his enunciation of the whole-number rule".
- This crater was known as [/Ulugh%20Beigh Ulugh Beigh] E (Catalog number 1897a) in the original IAU nomenclature of [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations], where that designation is attributed to Franz.
- The replacement name Aston was given by Arthur and Whitaker in the [/Rectified%20Lunar%20Atlas Rectified Lunar Atlas] (1963) and approved in [/IAU%20Transactions%20XIIB IAU Transactions XIIB] (1964).
