Carl Otto Lampland
Carl Otto Lampland (December 29, 1873 – December 14, 1951) was an American astronomer. He was involved with both of the Lowell Observatory solar system projects, observations of the planet Mars and the search for Planet X. Biography Carl Otto Lampland was born near Hayfield in Dodge County, Minnesota. He was born into a family of ten children. Both his father Ole Helliksen Lampland (1834–1914) and his mother Berit Gulliksdatter Skartum (1850–1943) were born in Norway. He was educated first at Valparaiso Normal school in Valparaiso, Indiana, where he earned a B.S. degree in 1899. He then studied at Indiana University, where he received a B.A. degree in astronomy in 1902, an M.A. in 1906, and an honorary LL.D in 1930. He first went to Lowell Observatory in 1902 when invited by Percival Lowell and Lampland was closely involved with Lowell in planetary observation. He designed cameras used for astronomy and also designed and maintained telescopes, including re ...

Lampland (lunar Crater)
Lampland is a crater on the far side of the Moon. It lies to the west-southwest of the crater Subbotin, and to the north-northwest of Eötvös. About four crater diameters to the north-northwest lies the prominent Tsiolkovskiy. A small pit intrudes into the west-southwestern rim. A small, cup-shaped impact crater, Lampland A, lies along the northeast inner wall and part of the floor. The interior of Lampland is marked by several small craters which are located mostly in the southern half. There is a slightly darker patch of terrain in the southeast part of the interior. Satellite craters By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Lampland.

Lampland (Martian Crater)
Lampland is an impact crater on Mars, located in the Thaumasia quadrangle at 35.9°S latitude and 79.6°W longitude. It is 79.0 kilometers in diameter and was named after Carl Otto Lampland. The name was approved by IAU's Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature in 1973. Importance The density of impact craters is used to determine the surface ages of Mars and other solar system bodies. The older the surface, the more craters present. Crater shapes can reveal the presence of ground ice. Lampland Crater sits in an area with many craters, hence this region is considered to be quite old.

The abundance of volcanic features together with widespread cratering are strong evidence for a variety of ores. While nothing may be found on Mars that would justify the ...
