Additional Information

  • IAU page: Banting
  • Depth data from [/Kurt%20Fisher%20crater%20depths Kurt Fisher database]
    • Westfall, 2000: 1.13 km
    • Viscardy, 1985: 1.1 km
  • From the length of the shadows in AS15-M-0406, the depth of the crater floor (relative to the east rim) varies from about 1070-1120 m. - JimMosher JimMosher
  • Slightly southeast of Banting is a curious craterlet with 270° ejecta blanket around it (located at 25°50' North/ 17°20' East). There's a 90° "corner" of untouched terrain westward of it. This craterlet is described and depicted in NASA SP-362, [/NASA%20SP-362 Apollo Over the Moon], Chapter 5: Craters (Part 2), Figure 112. Detection of the craterlet's exact location: Danny Caes (who calls it the Pacman). See also LROC article Nature's Art.
  • To explore the LTO's extreme close-up of the Pacman southeast of Banting, add Longitude 17.35 and Latitude 25.875 in the LRO's ACT-REACT Quick Map.- DannyCaes DannyCaes Aug 20, 2011


Nomenclature

  • Named for Sir Frederick Grant Banting (November 14, 1891 – February 21, 1941), a Canadian medical scientist, doctor and Nobel laureate noted as one of the co-discovers of insulin. Banting was widely esteemed in Canada as the first Canadian to achieve worldwide scientific fame. The Canadian government gave him a lifetime grant for his research. In 1934 King George V bestowed a knighthood on him, making him Sir Frederick Banting.
  • This replacement name for a formerly [/lettered%20crater lettered crater] was introduced on LTO-42A3 (for which it served as the chart title). - JimMosher JimMosher
  • Biographical information for the new name appears in [/Ashbrook%2C%201974 Ashbrook, 1974].
