Additional Information


Nomenclature

  • Named for Jean-Pierre-François Blanchard (1753-1809), a French aeronaut.
  • This name was published in the [/IAU IAU]'s 1991 Reports on Astronomy.
  • Although listed in the [/IAU%20Planetary%20Gazetteer IAU Planetary Gazetteer] as replacing the former [/lettered%20crater lettered crater] designation [/Arrhenius Arrhenius] P, that name was actually part of [/Ewen%20Whitaker Ewen Whitaker]'s effort to letter the farside for [/NASA%20RP-1097 NASA RP-1097] (1982) and was never approved by the [/IAU IAU]. The [/IAU%20Planetary%20Gazetteer IAU Planetary Gazetteer] listing also gives a map reference of "SOV 1985" for this and the other seven new names published in 1991. This would seem to be a reference to an unidentified Soviet map from 1985.
