  Lade (crater) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lade is the remains of a lunar crater that has been flooded by lava.
To the north is Godin crater, and in the south-southeast is the worn, lava-flooded Saunder crater.
The surviving crater wall is worn and somewhat hexagonal in outline.

 Louis Godin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Louis Godin (February 28, 1704 - September 11, 1760) was a French astronomer.
Godin was a member with Charles Marie de La Condamine and Pierre Bouguer of the expedition sent to Peru in 1735 to determine the length of a degree of the meridian in the neighbourhood of the equator.
This would also determine whether the earth's diameter were greater at the equator than at the poles, as had been conjectured by Isaac Newton.

Agrippa is a lunar impact crater that is located at the southeast edge of the Mare Vaporum.
It is located to the north of the Godin crater, and the irregular Tempel crater formation lies just to the east.
The crater is associated with a ray system that extends for a distance of about 270 kilometers.

It often appears like a crater chain in the telescope, but lunar photogeologists say the "craters" are collapse pits, where the wall of the rille has fallen in.
The crater midway along the rille is a true crater.
From the crater the prominent Hyginus Rille extends east-southeast toward the camera and northwest toward the Sea of Vapors.

 LPOD lunar photo of the day » 2006 » February
Agrippa (above) and Godin are rarely imaged craters in plain view near the lunar center of face.
Godin has no floor, its entire interior is covered with material that slid down the walls and piled up as wide and high terraces.
Landslides occur when complex craters are formed as part of the accommodation to the removal of rock from the crater center.

Despite the hundreds of years during which the moon has been observed through telescopes and via more recent close views from space vehicles, observational data is still needed to test the theories of the origin of bright rays and their nature.
And if you observed the craters when their rays could not be seen, that is also of great importance since it'll help determine when the rays are not visible.
Other things to be noted are the association of rays with linear arrangements of craterlets, the divergence of rays from points other than the center of the 'parent' crater, and their becoming visible only at some distance from the point of origin.

The Eudoxe crater, with the massive walls, seems to be the twin of Aristote.
The Caucasus extends on approximately 520 km, of the above-mentioned strait, to the Eudoxe crater.

Following Gene Shoemaker's analysis in the late 1950s we now know that crater rays are pulverized ejecta widely dispersed from craters formed by high speed impact and mixed with local material gardened by such ejecta.
The two most important recent studies are The Origin of Lunar Crater Rays by Hawke and colleagues, and Optical Maturity of Ejecta from Large Rayed Lunar Craters by Grier and colleagues.
Although there are obviously many rayed craters, lists of crater ray systems are not as common as they were 100 years ago.

The crater floor looked uniformly dark at first, but on closer observation, particularly under lower powers where contrast was greater, variations in albedo and light intensity could be seen.
Near the center of the crater floor a vague circular spot, slightly lighter than the surrounding areas, could be occasionally barely glimpsed or suspected.
In the southwest corner of the crater floor a narrow arc like line could be seen projecting into the interior of the crater from the margin of the dark floor.

La Condamine was a member of the same expedition and its third scientific member was the leader of the expedition Louis Godin.

Date Observed: 9/14/05 10:02 PM Comments: Small, circular crater just west of the Riphaeus Mountains on the eastern edge of Ocean Procellarum directly east of crater Hansteen with the intervening mare between the two devoid of features, approximately mid-way between craters Kepler and Gassendi.
While it is nice to speculate that 5 monks may have described its origin from a meteorite in 1178, the current evidence suggests what they saw was most likely due to their witnessing a meter (Beta Taurid meteor) burning up in a trajectory that was limited to their field of view.
Date Observed: 8/10/05 9:30 PM Comments: Large, well-defined crater- the 1st of a chain of three (Theophilus, Cyrillis, Catharina) lying at the western junction of Mare Nectaris and Sinus Asperitatis- with prominent terraced walls, smooth floor and prominent central peaks.

 Early life on Earth
If true, impact craters could represent some of the best sites to look for signs of past or present life on Mars and other planets.
Lakes accumulate sediments, the layers of which are a geological archive of the time after the crater formed.
Impact craters of that age were long ago erased on Earth by erosion, volcanic resurfacing and plate tectonics.

Frequently small craters are found on the summits of these elevations, but more often on their flanks and near their base.
Its crest is broken on the E. by a large brilliant crater, and its continuity is interrupted on the N. by a formation resembling a large double crater, which is associated with a number of low rounded banks and ridges extending some distance towards the N.W., and breaking the continuity of the _glacis_.
There is a conspicuous crater on the N.W. side of the floor, and a curious square enclosure, with a crater on its W. border, abutting on the N.E. wall.

The floor of Herodotus was mostly shadow filled with the shadow of a prominent rim peak reaching across the crater floor to the sunlit west wall.
On the inside margin of the western side of the crater was a dark but not absolutely fl shadow, the rest of the crater appeared to be a featureless, moderately bright crescent.
The crater floor was variably shaded as well, being darker in the south than in the north.

Running along the southwest edge of the crater floor was what appeared to be a ridge and on the east side of the crater floor appeared to be a hill to the north of which was a less elevated plateau.
Three of the spots were located in the southwest part of the crater and a fourth in the north central part of the floor of Julius Caesar.
No other craters seem to have this tonight so don't think it was a telescope/observer artifact, but have not checked the imagery to see if this is a normal feature.

 Oh, l'Amour
But it's definitely a good thing that Dunckel and Godin are so in touch with their feelings, because their sensations — more important, their instincts — are key to making their best music.
And more recently, Godin bought a lesson on tape from a French protégé of Atkins in order to take his fingerpicking to the next level.
Onstage, Dunckel and Godin's live setup includes a Fender Rhodes, a Moog Minimoog Voyager, a Korg MS-20, a Clavia Nord Lead, an ARP Solina String Ensemble, an organ through an Electro-Harmonix delay box and a little Boss SP-202 sampler.

 Perth Penguinista: 01/2006
However, the craters in the chain are often all of a size.
The uniform physical properties and bedding of these layers might indicate that they were originally deposited in a lake (it is possible that the crater was at the bottom of a much larger lake, filling Schiaparelli Basin); alternatively, the layers were deposited by settling out of the atmosphere in a dry environment.
These are often described as “rebounds”, but the geologists are pretty sure that the Chicxulub crater — also blamed for the lack of living dinosaurs — is an impact crater, and the rock structure under that is a mess, not the neatly deposited, even, symmetrical layers we see here with no evidence of underlying chaos.

Godin is capable of ripping off hundreds of examples on command.

 La_Condamine biography
Bouguer was a member of the same expedition and its third scientific member was the leader of the expedition Louis Godin.
In 1741 Bouguer discovered a small error in their joint measurements and these two fell out when Bouguer refused to allow La Condamine to recheck the results.
The last survivor of the expedition, La Condamine, who was a less gifted astronomer than Godin and a less reliable mathematician than Bouguer often received the major part of the credit, probably because of his amiable nature and his talent as a writer.
