The Lunar Foundation, in conjunction with the Lunar Republic Society, has announced that a crater near the Apollo 11 landing site on the Moon has been named in honor of fabled CBS Evening News anchor and space enthusiast Walter Cronkite.
The crater, previously designated as Sabine C, is located in the southern Sea of Tranquility. It is adjacent to craters previously named for the Apollo 11 crew members Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins.

ChiTrib: Buzz Aldrin Raps With Snoop, Prefers Sinatra
Luis Arroyave blogs in the Chicago Tribune re: the second man on the Moon's ability to distinguish the front of the Moon from its backside, his tastes in music, and his apparent inability to laugh at his own jokes:
Buzz Aldrin looks at a large screen in the Adler Planetarium on Wednesday and gives a brief take on what it is we're looking at.
"That's the front of the moon," he says, almost as if he's showing his vacation pictures. "The back of the moon looks pretty different. It's not as hospitable."
Aldrin would make one hell of a Planetarium tour guide.
