Hmmm ... just checked out the image of the day
http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/image...ture_1537.html
and looks a bit like something else .... on the human anatomy, then laughed when looked at the name of the crater - Proctor Crater
Do yous know what a proctoscope is??

That's probably why they called it Proctor Crater

I think it's a bit of a bum story.

Now this may be a little uncomfortable.

I have to say, it's one of the most amazing/unusal ***holes I've seen and
maybe in need of some moisturiser.

Cheers,CS

"Posterus Maximus"!!! Could be another analogy.

Is that the A*** end of Mars?
Maybe it's on the opposite side of Mars to "The Face".

Probably why there's no life on Mars. Nobody wants to live in a s**thole.

That's a crater?

riiiight... (but I can see the humour in the naming)

spacezebra (Petra) · #15 08-12-2009, 09:42 PM

Cheers Petra d.

I'd like to know the inside story about the naming of the crater.

TrevorW · #18 09-12-2009, 06:15 PM

Look at all the PILES of sand before the crater

Liz · #19 09-12-2009, 07:41 PM

soooo many funny comments, but hey, do you think that NASA named that crater .... tho I have trouble seeing a crater, just a crack ..... , did they name it because of how it looks??? Do they have a sense of humour?? Hmm, Ric reckons they do.

If it was named by a scientist it's hardly surprising if there is an element of humour behind it. Scientists are renowned for their cerebral sense of humour.
