Sir Arthur Stanley Eddington, OM (December 28, 1882 – November 22, 1944) was an astrophysicist of the early 20th century.
Eddington's observations confirmed Einstein's theory, and were hailed at the time as a conclusive proof of general relativity over the Newtonian model; the news was reported in newspapers all over the world as a major story.
In 1920, Eddington, on the basis of the precise measurements of atomic weights by F. Aston, was the first to suggest that stars obtained their energy from nuclear fusion of hydrogen to helium.

During World War I, Eddington was called up for military service but because he was a member of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) and a pacifist, he refused to serve in the army.
Eddington was one of the most vocal champions of this theory, and he had a long-running argument with James Jeans over it.

Eddington is one of the more significant solar theorists of the last hundred years.
The locale consists of five impact craters with the largest being approximately 550 feet in diameter and 103 feet deep.
The eroded nature of each of the impact craters suggests that they formed near the end of the Flood Event Timeframe while Floodwater was still slowly withdrawing from the North American continent.

 Eddington biography
Eddington had not reached sixteen years of age at the time, and so officially he was too young to enter university.
Eddington was a Smith's prize winner for an essay on the proper motions of stars in 1907, and he was awarded a Trinity College Fellowship.
Eddington had a fascination with the fundamental constants of nature and produced some surprising numerical coincidences most of which were published after his death in Fundamental Theory (1946), a book prepared for publication by Whittaker.

 Chapter 8, Section 4   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The diameter of the eventual crater is typically 10 times that of the incoming meteoroid; the crater depth is about twice the meteoroid's diameter.
At the present average rates, one new 10-km (diameter) lunar crater is formed roughly every 10 million years, a new meter-sized crater is created about once a month, and centimeter-sized craters are formed every few minutes.
Thus the much more heavily cratered highlands are indeed older than the less cratered maria, but the difference in cratering is not simply a matter of exposure time.

 ESA - Space Science - Mersenius crater – wrinkles between Humorum and Procellarum
Crater Mersenius C is positioned in the highland area between Mare Humorum and the Oceanus Procellarum.
The crater is surrounded by a system of so-called 'grabens', which are fractures that form when the lunar surface sinks slightly as a result of faults.
The crater is named in honour of Marin Mersenne, a French philosopher and physicist (1588-1648).

AMIE obtained this sequence on 18 March 2006, from a distance of 1200 kilometres from the surface, with a ground resolution ranging from 110 to 114 metres per pixel.
The prominent crater on the upper left area of this mosaic is called Sulpicius Gallus.
The area around Sulpicius Crater is very interesting for lunar scientists – it is one of the most geologically and compositionally complex areas of the nearside of the Moon.

The magnetic response of the crater is fairly weak, with a thin annulus magnetic high corresponding to the crater rim, and a very small high in the centre or the bull1s eye in the crater.
However closer inspection of the elevation contours shows that the crater rim is somewhat asymmetric in shape in that the south west crater rim is thicker and of a shallower slope than the steeper north-eastern part of the rim.
Eddington wrote in his famous work, The Internal Constitution of the Stars: "In seeking a source of energy other than contraction the first question is whether the energy to be radiated in future is now hidden in the star or whether it is being picked up continuously from outside.

 Projecting Nuclear Fusion onto the Sun
Then, in 1920, the British astronomer Sir Arthur Eddington combined the principle of gravitational collapse with an exciting new principle in the physical sciences—nuclear fusion.
To achieve fusion, it would be necessary for protons to cross the barrier of the repulsive electric force, which is sufficient to keep the protons apart forever.
But Eddington’s successors accomplished the impossible by something called quantum tunneling, enabling an extremely small percentage of protons to simply “appear” inside the barrier at any particular time.

Looking at 20,000 stars Eddington will find rocky planets by looking for the drop in light caused every time a planet crosses in front of its parent star.
Eddington must therefore view a huge quantity of stars to increase its chances of finding large numbers of planets.
Eddington will therefore stare at this region of space constantly for three years, to make sure it catches every transit as it happens.

Large craters are named after famous women, small craters less than 20 km in diameter are given feminine names and all other types of features are given names after mythological characters.
By this time all large craters had already been named so Dr. Vibert Douglas’ name was given to a patera, that is an irregular crater or a complex one with scalloped edges, probably of tectonic origin.

The first thing that caught my eye was the huge crater complex near the northern end of the terminator, at a latitude about even with Aristarchus (where Schroter's Valley was still showing, but was not as sharply defined as it had been the previous two nights).
A large crater -- Riccioli -- sat just inside the terminator, and adjacent to it, west of Hevlius (whose rilles were not visible at all) an interesting large crater looked like a high filled plateau, like a much larger version of Wargentin on the previous night, except not so dark: Hedin.
Byrgius turns out to be an excellent landmark in this area, because the large crater flanked by smaller craters Byrgius A and D is very easily recognizable.

All of crater Riccioli is seen, but just barely, and it has strong relief, but only the very top of the western rim of crater Hedin is catching sunlight.
Somewhere amidst the high-relief “wrinkled” terrain south of it in view is slitlike crater Drygalski.

Despite its apparent youth, the crater could still be many hundreds of thousands, if not several million, of years old.
Harold Masursky and his colleagues estimated the relative age of the channels by counting the number and judging the age of the craters in and near the channels.
Another possible indicator of ground ice is the unique character of material ejected from impact craters that is quite different from the pattern on the Moon and on Mercury.
