Description
Description: Elger
(IAU Directions) BLANCHINUS.--A large walled-plain on the E. of Purbach and abutting on the S. side of LACAILLE. It much resembles Purbach in shape, but has lower walls. Schmidt shows a crater on the N. side of the floor, which I have seen, and a number of parallel ridges which have not been noted, probably because they are only visible under very oblique light.

Depth data from Kurt Fisher database

The rim of Blanchinus is part of the Lunar X (which is a well-known telescopic clair-obscur phenomenon for observers of the First Quarter Moon).
Nomenclature
- Giovanni Bianchini (Johannes Blanchinus) (1410 – c. 1469) was an Italian astronomer and a professor of astronomy at the University of Ferrara. He was an associate of Georg Purbach and Regiomontanus. He should not be confused with Francesco Bianchini (1662-1729) (after whom Bianchini crater is named) or Giuseppe Biancani (1566-1624) (after whom Blancanus crater is named).
- Erroneously printed as "Blanchinius" (an "i" too much) instead of Blanchinus on page 39 (chart 13) of Chuck Wood's and Maurice Collins's 21st Century Atlas of the Moon.- DannyCaes Jan 21, 2013
