Additional Information
Nomenclature
- Andreas Vesalius (December 12, 1514 - October 15, 1564) was a Flemish anatomist who as a university teacher insisted on conducting detailed dissections on human cadavers personally. He can be said to have started what led to the modern science of medicine.
- Vesalius M, at 5° South/ 115° East, was named Eskola in NASA's APOLLO 17 PRELIMINARY SCIENCE REPORT, Page 28-9. Eskola was possibly Pentti Eskola, 1883-1964, Finnish geologist. - DannyCaes DannyCaes Apr 5, 2014
