I have updated this map to include the newly named rock. I may change this as I learn more about it. Sites with squares are the main science sites (use of APXS or other instruments).

I have just been to a meeting with Long Xiao in which he showed results from a paper submitted but not yet accepted. It contains a wonderful route map which I will use to update mine (giving accurate dates at the various stops in Day 2, for instance) as well as several unofficial crater names. There are other very good results including a fascinating interpretation of the ground-penetrating radar data.
I will post an updated version of my map when the new one becomes public. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

This is a version of my route map (route still needs to be updated) with the new feature names just published in this paper:
http://www.raa-journal.org/raa/index.php/r...ticle/view/1962 The names are Chinese traditional names for constellations. The big crater west of the landing site is 'Purple Palace', a name for a region of the sky. These are not the same names I referred to a few posts above. I will say more about them as soon as I see them again. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

"Celestial Cereals"? That's what I eat every morning.

What wonderful, poetic names!
And of course extending the Mare analogy, why wouldn't a crater be a pool, well or spring? |

This map adds the names and updates the route to take the most recent maps into account. A reminder - I still don't know the exact dates of stops near the end of the route. The dates I give are only guesses.

I am revising and extending my old Moon book, and just did some work on Chang'E 3. This and some recent publications allow me to revise the route map, and now I am confident I do have the dates correct... though there is still some uncertainty about whether some dates correspond to Beijing time or Universal Time. So here is probably the last update of this thread.
Phil The Chinese names come mostly from a mission overview paper in Space Science Reviews: Li, C. et al, 2015. The Chang’e 3 Mission Overview. Space Science Reviews, v. 190, pp. 85-101. -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
