Nomenclature
- Maria Mitchell (August 1, 1818 – June 28, 1889) was an American astronomer. Using a telescope, she discovered "Miss Mitchell's Comet" (Comet 1847 VI, modern designation is C/1847 T1) in the autumn of 1847.
- Although not mentioned in Whitaker, Mitchell was among the names in the original IAU nomenclature of Blagg and Müller's Named Lunar Formations (1935). According to Chuck's copy, the name is attributed there to Schmidt. Chuck was able to verify that Schmidt (in his book) notes that Miss Mitchell was a new name in use by English observers for the crater he (and others) knew as "Aristoteles a". Oddly the consumate English observer Neison (who seems to have incorporated nearly all the new names of Birt and Lee into his maps), chose to use the name "Aristoteles a" for this feature, and does not mention Miss Mitchell in his book. See the LPOD No Beer Here for what is probably the earliest map naming "Aristoteles a". - Jim Mosher
- List of features named for women.
- Mitchell was also the (unofficial) name of a small crater southwest of Emory; a crater on the floor of the Taurus-Littrow Valley (explored by Gene Cernan and Jack Schmitt of Apollo 17, december 1972). Mitchell (Apollo 17 crater) - "Billy Mitchell, through his own sacrifice, showed us the practical and political reasons for being a truly air-faring nation. From the resulting foundation in aeronautics, we have moved into space, hopefully having learned his lessons well." (source: APOLLO LUNAR SURFACE JOURNAL, Eric M. Jones).
E.Mitchell
- We should add the name E.Mitchell near the landingsite of Apollo 14, north of Fra Mauro (Edgar D. Mitchell) (1930-2016, sixth Apollo astronaut on the moon, Apollo 14, 1971).- DannyCaes Feb 7, 2016
