Talk:Theophilus (crater)

Untitled
are we sure that this is named after Theophilus of Alexandria and not after Theophilus of Antioch? Rmhermen 22:46, Oct 4, 2004 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think so. The crater was named by Riccioli, a Jesuit. Theophilus of Alexandria was a notable figure in the christian religion, whereas Theophilus of Antioch was a pagan. Also the year of death is correct for Theophilus of Alexandria. &mdash; RJH 22:39, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

central peak names
The article states that the central peaks are designated by greek letters, but the IAU does not seem to recognize these names: Theophilus Can someone verify the reference to Rukl?Jstuby (talk) 18:06, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Clarification Please
This: The floor of the crater is relatively flat, and it has a large, triple-peaked central crater that climbs to a height of about 2 kilometres above the floor. is confusing on three counts, namely: --catslash (talk) 18:16, 5 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Does it means central mountain ?
 * The number of peaks differs from the four mentioned in the preceding paragraph and from the four apparent in the picture.
 * The height seems to have grown 600 m since the previous paragraph - does this mean the crater floor is 600 m below the reference lunar surface?


 * It is also confusing that the paragraph says "It is 4200 m deep" - but on the other hand the Infobox lists the Depth as 3.2 km. Has that been mixed up by an editor with its age (3.2B)? Zopcsakferi (talk) 21:38, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
