In the 1970s, a small farside crater centered at (lat 25.07S, long 133.28°E) depicted on Lunar Topographic Orthophotomap (LTO) 102D1 was named “Sappho” by Donald Menzel for the ancient Greek poet Sappho. The IAU never adopted the naming of a crater for Sappho. The crater’s official name is Stark V. The farside crater Stark is named to honor the German physicist and Nobel laureate Johannes Stark (1874–1957).
