Nielsen (crater)

Nielsen is a lunar impact crater on the Oceanus Procellarum. It is located north-east of Montes Agricola on the western hemisphere of the Moon. To the east-southeast is the crater Wollaston.

Nielsen is a bowl-shaped formation that lies astride a small ridge that runs north-northwestwards towards the Mons Rümker. The latter is an unusual raised formation of lunar domes.

The crater is named jointly after the Danish astronomer Axel Nielsen (1902-1970) and the Danish–American physicist Harald Herborg Nielsen (1903-1973).

Nielsen (surname)

Nielsen is a Danish patronymic surname, literally meaning son of Niels, Niels being the Danish version of the Greek male given name Νικόλαος, Nikolaos ( cf. Nicholas). It is the second most common surname in Denmark, shared by about 5% of the population. It is also used in Norway, although the form Nelsen and Nilsen is more common. In Sweden the parallel form is Nilsson. Nielsen is also in use in the Faroe Islands. The frequent occurrences of Nielsen as a surname outside Denmark is due to emigration. Immigrants to English-speaking countries sometimes changed the spelling to Nielson, Nelsen, Nelson, Neilson, or Neilsen.

Keller Trueblood was prosecuting the murder of Spyder Nielsen when he died.

Spyder Nielsen was extravagant to the extreme in many ways, but not in this.

THE HOME OF THE MURDERED Spyder Nielsen sat on the most coveted piece of residential property in all of Pit-kin County, Colorado.

Spyder Nielsen had parlayed his ski jumping into a reputation exceeded only by his fortune, and Trudi Can-delaria, by escaping the conviction for his murder, had fallen heir to it all.

The murder weapon was a casting in bronze of a likeness of Spyder Nielsen hurtling through a racing course on skis.

If Keller had come to believe, even in the middle of his prosecution of Trudi, that Chloe Nielsen or anyone else had really committed the murder, the problem would not be solved just by getting rid of Keller.

The impression in his mind as he sought out Robyn to go meet with Chloe Nielsen was that this was a piece, perhaps a major part, of the injustice he had been sent to set right.

And the truth is, she deserved to fry as much as her lover Spyder Nielsen deserved to die.
