Additional Information


Nomenclature

  • Named after the nearby crater ([/Herigonius Herigonius]).
  • Number 7 in Debra Hurwitz'z Atlas and Catalog of Sinuous Rilles.
  • This name appears on Chart E5 of the [/System%20of%20Lunar%20Craters System of Lunar Craters] [/Quad%20Maps Quad Maps] (approved by the [/IAU IAU] in 1964). It was not part of the original IAU nomenclature of [/Blagg%20and%20M%C3%BCller Blagg and Müller] (1935).
  • The cluster of hills and hillocks between Rimae Herigonius and [/Gassendi Gassendi] is sometimes nicknamed the Lobster or the Trilobite because of its peculiar and recognizable shape. Source: Akkana Peck.
  • A wonderful telescopic photograph made by the dedicated lunar observer Bob Pilz, shows Rimae Herigonius, [/Herigonius Herigonius] itself, the Andreus hills, [/Gassendi Gassendi], Clarkson ([/Gassendi Gassendi] A), and the recognizeable Lobster / Trilobite (above centre of photograph). - DannyCaes DannyCaes Dec 12, 2007
  • Herigonius' Snake: the peculiar snake-shaped northeastern "extension" of Rimae Herigonius, at 11°45' South/ 35°45' West (at Dorsa Ewing). See upper part of Lunar Orbiter 4 frame 137-h2. Herigonius' Snake is also detectable on Chart 23 (page 59) in the 21st Century Atlas of the Moon (Wood/ Collins) at location 1-C (very near the chart's upper margin! Magnifying glass required!!!). Herigonius' Snake is thus nicknamed by Danny Caes
