Ashbrook is a large lunar impact crater that is located in the vicinity of the south pole on the far side of the Moon, and so can not be viewed directly from the Earth.
The eastern face of the crater has been overlain by the similar-sized Drygalski crater, and more than half the interior floor of Ashbrook is covered by the outer ramparts and ejecta of Drygalski.
The surviving outer rim of Ashbrook is worn and eroded by subsequent impacts, although much of the original formation is still visible.

But the Philadelphians, Ashbrook and Lippincott, insisted that the term was already in general usage as synonymous with agents.
Ashbrook asserted that it was sufficiently general to encompass all representatives of life insurance companies, but not so vague as Haskell's suggestion that the organization be called "The National Life Insurance Association." Besides, Ashbrook thought "underwriter" sounded better.
It was Ashbrook who, in a very moving speech, nominated Ransom an honorary member of the new organization, as the one responsible for "having given the initiative to that great movement which has resulted in the assemblage of these men here today." Looking on the long struggle to organize the agents, Ashbrook said:

 Can an Astronomical New Moon Be Seen by "Earthshine?"
I have examined about two dozen astronomy books concerning earthshine, and they all take it for granted that the observer is looking for earthshine at a time when the crescent is already visible.
In Sky and Telescope, volume 42, August 1971, page 78, Joseph Ashbrook wrote the following below a photograph of a crescent moon showing earthshine, "A 29-hour-old crescent moon is setting behind trees a mile away in this photograph taken on January 17, 1961, at Mount Pinos, California, by Alan McClure of Los Angeles.
When the moon is much nearer new [i.e, the conjunction], naked-eye viewers never see the earthshine because the twilight glow is too bright." Joseph Ashbrook authored the regular column in Sky and Telescope titled "Astronomical Scrapbook" until his death in 1980.

Possibly on such an occasion, some ancient observer with a keen eye, viewing the Sun on an unusually hazy day, might have glimpsed our sister planet's dark image (reporting it as "a dark mark on the Sun") on the solar disk.
Astronomer Joseph Ashbrook (1918-1980) wrote in The Astronomical Scrapbook (Sky Publishing Corporation, 1984): "For those who witness the transit of June 8, 2004, there comes the awesome thought that not a single human being remains alive that observed the last transit of Venus, in December, 1882."
There is some neat math involved in Venus transits, all related to the predictability of its orbit, which is closer to the Sun than the annual path of Earth.
