John Moore. Interpretation of the Goclenius [/rima rille] numbers established in the [/System%20of%20Lunar%20Craters System of Lunar Craters]. The rilles lie midway between [/Mare%20Fecunditatis Mare Fecunditatis] (top right) and [/Mare%20Nectaris Mare Nectaris] (bottom left and out of picture). Rima Goclenius II is roughly 200 km in length, ending at the south-eastern rim of [/Goclenius Goclenius] - its floor being lower than the surrounding mare. Rima Goclenius I is also shown extending across the floor of [/Goclenius Goclenius] although such an extension has never been part of the [/IAU IAU] definition.

Nomenclature
- Named after the nearby crater ([/Goclenius Goclenius]).
- Mary Blagg's [/Collated%20List Collated List] of 1913 included four [/rima rilles] associated with [/Goclenius Goclenius] (Catalog entries 4331-4334), two of which were associate with [/Gutenberg Gutenberg] by [/Beer%20and%20M%C3%A4dler Beer and Mädler].
- The original [/IAU%20nomenclature IAU nomenclature] of [/Named%20Lunar%20Formations Named Lunar Formations] (1935) listed two rilles, Goclenius Ir (Catalog entry 4331) and Goclenius IIr (Catalog entry 4332). Goclenius Ir is described as running from the north-northwest wall of [/Goclenius Goclenius] to a point south of [/Lubbock Lubbock]. Goclenius IIr was confined entirely to the interior of [/Goclenius Goclenius], corresponding the Psi on [/Neison%2C%201876 Neison]'s map.
- The [/System%20of%20Lunar%20Craters System of Lunar Craters] largely re-numbered and re-assigned the Glocenius and [/Rimae%20Gutenberg Gutenberg] rilles. It essentially retained NLFs Goclenius Ir as Rima Goclenius I, but combined Goclenius IIr with NLFs Guttemberg Ir to create a single continuous new Rima Goclenius II extending out of the crater into the surrounding plains, as shown in the image above.
- In 1976, the [/IAU IAU] adopted a resolution recommending that all rille numbers be replaced with "more meaningful names." As with all other then-numbered rille systems, the existence of the name Rimae Goclenius was recorded in the [/IAU%20Planetary%20Gazetteer IAU Planetary Gazetteer], but the exact rilles denoted by the name was not specified.
