Wan-Hoo (Van-Gu)

Additional Information

  • From the shadows in LO-V-030H the floor of Wan-Hoo appears to lie 3600 to 4800 m below the west rim. A recent preliminary topographic map from the Chinese [/Lunar%20Missions Chang'e-1] mission suggests the east rim is considerably higher. - JimMosher JimMosher


Nomenclature

  • Named for Wan Hoo (unkn-c. 1500), a Chinese official and inventor whose accomplishments have perhaps been enlarged into a myth.
  • Wan-Hoo was in the long list of farside names approved by the [/IAU IAU] in 1970 and published in [/Menzel%2C%201971#WAN-HOO Menzel, 1971]. The citation says that "according to legend he constructed a manned rocket of 2 box-like kites and a seat, and 47 solid-propellant rockets; perished in trying to take off."
  • The parenthetical part of the name recognizes a former spelling used by the [/IAU IAU]. Exactly when this spelling was used is unclear. It is also unclear if it is supposed to be retained in all future references to this crater or not. - JimMosher JimMosher
