Lunar Nomenclature

This page is http://www.planet4589.org/astro/lunar

Here I present (as of the original writing in 2004) the most complete public digital list of named lunar features.
I have created a digital version of the list of lunar craters
in the NASA Catalog of Lunar Nomenclature (NASA-RP-1097, Andersson and
Whitaker 1982, hereafter AW82). Most of the data herein is now included
in Jenny Blue's official [usgs.gov]
list.

Craters.AW82 contains
name, latitude, longitude and diameter in km for each crater
listed in the first table of AW82. There may be some typos;
please let me know if you find any discrepancies between this list and
AW82.

Craters is a merge of the AW82 list
with the list
on the USGS site http://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/.
Since the publication of AW82 there have been a number of changes
to lunar nomenclature and this merge brings the data up to date.

The file contains name, latitude,
longitude, diameter, feature type, citation for first description (incomplete),
citation for first use of nomenclature (incomplete). It uses
the same convention as the USGS for diacritical marks (e.g. |: for umlaut).
