Planetary nomenclature
Planetary nomenclature , like terrestrial nomenclature, is a system of uniquely identifying features on the surface of a planet or natural satellite so that the features can be easily located, described, and discussed. Since the invention of the telescope , astronomers have given names to the surface features they have discerned, especially on the Moon and Mars . To standardize planetary nomenclature, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) was assigned in 1919 the task of selecting official names for features on solar system bodies. [1]
