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.

Thanks to Chuck Wood, Jenny Blue, Alan Baxter and Jim Mosher for comments and corrections.
