Nomenclature update for the Moon

Just an update on craters, so far to-date for 2018, on the Moon that have received official names:

Hawke: 66.61S, 128.65E, 13.2km (approved 16 March 2018)
Yerkes V: 15.24N, 50.93E, 3.7km (approved 23 Aug 2018)
Donner M: 32.17S, 97.96E, 8.0km (approved 28 Aug 2018)

Hawke is on the farside, so obviously not viewable from Earth, Yerkes V - given suitable lighting conditions (and perhaps a good libration as a bonus) is viewable, while Donner M is on the extreme limb (and would definitely require a good/great libration).

Good luck in viewing.

When will the late Sir Patrick get a crater named for him?

Don't know about the idiots...but as far as a 'Patrick Moore' crater being named on the Moon's surface...it is, in the hands of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) gods....open

We have a 'Moore' already, so it's a 'Patrick' we should expect....fingers crossed
