Marconi (crater)

Marconi is a lunar impact crater that is located on the Moon's far side. It lies to the northwest of the large walled plain Gagarin, and to the southwest of the prominent crater Chaplygin. To the west-northwest of Marconi is the slightly larger Dellinger.

This is a well-formed crater with only some modest impact erosion that has softened the features. The outer rim is marked only by a few tiny craterlets and some terrace structures can still be seen along the inner walls. There is a pair of small craterlets along the inner wall to the south and east. Near the midpoint of the relatively level interior floor is a low central rise composed of several small hills. The floor is otherwise marked by a number of tiny craterlets.

Previously known as 295, it was named in 1970 for Guglielmo Marconi.

As in the case of his receiving station, Marconi found that results were much improved when he wired his sending apparatus so that one terminal was grounded and the other connected with an elevated wire or aerial, which is now called the antenna.

It is the story of great men--Morse, Thomson, Bell, Marconi, and others--and how, with the aid of men like Field, Vail, Catty, Pupin, the scientist, and others in both the technical and commercial fields, they succeeded in flashing both messages and speech around the world, with wires and without wires.

There follows the fascinating story of Marconi and the wireless telegraph.

From him young Marconi learned of the work which had been accomplished, and of the apparatus which was then available.

It was this habit of careful and persistent study that made it possible for Marconi to accomplish such wonderful things at an early age.

For a year Marconi dreamed those dreams, studying the books and papers which would tell him more of these wonderful waves.

After much work and adjustment Marconi was able to send a message across the garden.

With the Branly coherer as the basis Marconi sought to make improvements which would result in the detector he was seeking.

By 1896 Marconi had brought this apparatus to a state of perfection where he could transmit messages to a distance of several miles.

The devices which Marconi thus assembled and put to practical use had been, in the hands of others, little more than scientific toys.

The time had now come for Marconi to introduce himself and his discoveries to the attention of the world.

Then, as progress was made and Marconi began to prove his system, the inevitable jealousies arose.

Following the establishment of communication with France, Marconi increased the range of his apparatus until he was able to cover most of eastern Europe.
