Davies is a crater on Mars located at 46°N 0°E on the fringe of Acidalia Planitia near Arabia Terra. It is approximately 48 km in diameter. The crater's name was formally approved by the IAU in 2006. It was named in honor of Merton Davies (1917-2001), a pioneer in the cartography of planetary bodies. An employee of the RAND Corporation, he assisted NASA in mapping Mars with colleagues Gérard de Vaucouleurs and Harold Masursky and defined the prime meridian of Mars as passing through the crater Airy-0. Davies Crater lies on the prime meridian, appropriate because Davies was responsible for its delineation.

  • Davies és un cràter de Mart situat en 46°N 0°E a la franja d'Acidalia Planitia, prop d'Arabia Terra. Aproximadament fa 47 quilòmetres de diàmetre. El cràter Davies va ser anomenat en honor de Merton Davies (1917-2001), pioner en la cartografia de cossos planetaris. (ca)
  • Davies ist ein rund 48 Kilometer großer Einschlagkrater auf dem Mars. Er liegt im östlichen Randbereich des Tieflands Acidalia Planitia nahe dem Hochland Arabia Terra. Da sein Namensgeber, der US-amerikanische Ingenieur Merton E. Davies (1917–2001), die NASA bei der Kartographierung des Mars unterstützte und den Nullmeridian festlegte, ist es nur angemessen, dass der von der Internationalen Astronomischen Union (IAU) 2006 nach ihm benannte Krater ebenfalls auf dem Nullmeridian liegt.

  • Davies é uma cratera em Marte localizada a 46°N 0°W na borda de Acidalia Planitia, e próximo a Arabia Terra. Ela possui aproximadamente 49 km em diâmetro.

  • 戴维斯陨击坑(Davies)是火星阿拉伯高地附近阿西达里亚平原边缘的一座撞击坑，中心坐标位于北纬45.96度、西经0.09度处，直径48.06公里，其名称取自美国著名美国太空计划先驱默顿·爱德华·戴维斯（1917年-2001年），2006年，被国际天文联合会正式批准接受。 默顿·戴维斯工作于美国兰德公司，是一名行星地图测绘专家，他与同事热拉尔·佛科留斯和哈罗德·马瑟斯基一起协助美国宇航局绘制了火星地图，并将火星的本初子午线定义为穿过陨石坑艾里-0的经线。戴维斯陨石坑位于本初子午线上，由于这条经线是戴维斯负责所划定，所以该陨坑被以他的名字命名。 (zh)
