Condon (crater)

Condon is a lunar crater that lies on the eastern shore of the Sinus Successus, a bay along the northeast edge of Mare Fecunditatis. It lies midway between the larger crater Apollonius to the north and the smaller Webb to the south on the Mare Fecunditatis. Condon was previously designated Webb R before being given a name by the IAU.

This is a lava-flooded crater remnant with only low rim segments surviving to the east and west. There is a break in the rim to the south and a wider break to the northwest of the crater. The crater interior is nearly level, and mark only by a few low rises in the surface. A pair of small craterlets are attached to the exterior of the southeast rim.

Condon (surname)

Condon (Irish CondĂșn) is a surname that originated in Ireland, and now most common in counties Cork, Limerick and Tipperary. The name is derived from the Anglo-Norman name de Caunteton, which came to Ireland in the 12th Century with the invader Nicholas de Caunteton.

Tra i volumi che tolse dagli scaffali c'erano Cronache marziane di Bradbury e Il lungo addio di Chandler, Il postino suona sempre due volte di Cain e Il sole sorge ancora di Hemingway, due libri di Richard Condon, uno di Anne Tyler e uno di Elmore Leonard.

The man climbed over the wall, crossed the access road, scaled a low fence on the other side of the road, then crouched down below a hedge just to the left of where Condon was now standing.

Condon was a distinguished American physicist, a pioneer in quantum mechanics, a participant in the development of radar and nuclear weapons in World War II, research director of Corning Glass, director of the National Bureau of Standards, and president of the American Physical Society (as well as, late in his life, professor of physics at the University of Colorado, where he directed a controversial Air Force-funded scientific study of UFOs).

Instead of walking south on Whittemore, which was a dark, poorly lit dirt road, Condon headed east on Tremont, where the light was better and he felt safer.

Condon strode down Whittemore Avenue and into the cemetery, the direction from which the voice came.
