[edit] Mid-point
Could someone tell me what this means
"The rotational axis of the Moon lies within the rim of the crater, and is only a few kilometers from its mid-point"
Is the mid point the "center" of the crater? or the mid-point between its center and rim? Lunokhod 13:34, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Naming craters
When/where is it appropriate to explain the reasons why a crater, surface feature or whole astronomical body was given a certain name?
Shackleton crater was named for Earnest Shackleton, famed antarctic explorer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jelder (talk • contribs) 19:32, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
- Ernest Shackleton (single "a") is listed in the page's infobox in the eponym entry. As it's the least important aspect of a crater's description, my personal preference is to see such comments at the very end of the lead. — RJH (talk) 16:30, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] LCROSS
Current plans for LCROSS are to impact Faustini and Shoemaker craters. So this page will need to be updated when that occurs.—RJH (talk) 19:38, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
