Talk:Galilaei (lunar crater)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Why is this crater spelled with an 'a' after the 'l', if it was meant to be honouring Galilei (who was after all Galilei, not Galilaei)? JackofOz 02:26, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I think it's the latinized version of the name. The crater was named by Giovanni Battista Riccioli, a Jesuit priest. — RJH 23:00, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
