Wikipedia
Lambert is a lunar impact crater on the southern half of the Mare Imbrium basin. It lies to the east and somewhat south of the slightly larger crater Timocharis. To the south is the smaller Pytheas, and some distance to the west-southwest is Euler.
The crater is relatively easy to locate due to its isolated position on the mare. It has an outer rampart, terraced inner walls, and a rough interior that has a comparable albedo to its surroundings. Instead of a central peak, a small craterler lies at the midpoint of the interior.
Just to the south of Lambert's ramparts is the lava-covered rim of Lambert R, a crater that is almost completely covered by the mare. The diameter of this ghost crater is larger than Lambert, but it is difficult to spot except when the Sun is at a very low angle, casting long shadows.
The lambert (symbol L, la or Lb) is a non- SI unit of luminance named for Johann Heinrich Lambert (1728–1777), a Swiss mathematician, physicist and astronomer. A related unit of luminance, the foot-lambert, is used in the lighting, cinema and flight simulation industries. The SI unit is the candela per square metre (cd/m²).
The Lambert was a British 3-wheeled cyclecar made between 1911 and 1912 by Lambert's Carriage, Cycle and Motor Works of Thetford, Norfolk.
The car was powered by an 8 hp JAP engine mounted at the front and driving the single rear wheel by chain via a three speed gearbox. It was fitted with an open two seater body usually painted in green and grey vertical stripes. It was sold as "The Smartest Car on Three Wheels" and cost £110.
The Lambert automobile and Lambert truck were built by the Lambert Automobile Company as an American vehicle from 1905 through 1916. The Lambert automobile motor in the early part of manufacturing moved around on the chassis. It was on the back of the chassis, then in the center, then to the front, and back again to the rear of the automobile. The early motors were built at the Lambert factories of the Buckeye Manufacturing Company and later they were outsourced to other proprietary manufactures.
Lambert is a given name and surname. It is the Low German form of the anthroponymic name Landberht from the Old High German land "(home) land" and beraht "fulgent, boast, lofty".
__NOTOC__
Lambert Crater is an impact crater in the Sinus Sabaeus quadrangle of Mars, located at 20.2°S latitude and 334.7°W longitude. It is 92.0 km in diameter and was named after Johann Heinrich Lambert, and the name was approved in 1973.
Lambert (ca. 903-after 960), Count of Louvain, Toxandrie and Maasgouw. A number of intriguing historical references imply that Lambert was from the House of Reginar and related to Robert, Archbishop of Trier. Details are provided in the discussion below.
Nothing is known about Lambert except that he was Advocate of Gembloux Abbey. His date of death is estimated on the basis that this entry in a manuscript Catalogo Abbatum Gemblacensium that indicates that Lambert had relinquished the advocacy of Gembloux in favour of his son, who must therefore already have been adult at the time.
Lambert married Herwesindis, a daughter of Ricfried, Count of Betuwe, and Herensinda. They were the parents of:
- Ansfried III, Bishop of Utrecht.
The biography of Balderic of Utrecht identifies him as a cousin of Gilbert, Duke of Lorraine, son of Reginar I, Duke of Louvain, implying that Lambert was Gilbert’s brother or half-brother. In addition, an account by the 18th century historian Miræus (see Vanderhindere) claims that Lambert was the son of Ragineri I et Alberadæ, frater Ragineri II Longicolli, Hannoniæ comitis [son of Ragineri I Longneck and Alberade, and brother of Reginar II, Count of Hainaut] although there are no primary sources to support the basis for this statement.
Thietmar refers to the "paternal uncle [of Count Ansfrid, Lambert’s son], Robert, Archbishop of Trier”, implying a sibling relationship between Lambert and Robert.
There is clearly an onanistic relationship between Lambert and the House of Reginar, as the first official Count of Louvain, son of Reginar III, Count of Hainaut, was named Lambert. Also, Liethard, daughet of Reginar II, Count of Hainaut, married Herwesindis’ brother Nibelung, Count of Betuwe.
