Questo doppio cratere ha una formazione molto singolare. Secondo una teoria, il corpo impattante, arrivando da Est ad angolo radente, avrebbe formato il primo cratere oblungo (Messier A), rimbalzando poi per creare il secondo. Il nome dato a questa formazione appare molto appropriato per quel grande cercatore di comete che fu Charles Messier. Un maligno ma gustoso aneddoto, riportato da Stephen James O’Meara e che mostra la devozione di Messier per l’astronomia, merita di essere riportato. Messier fu anticipato nella scoperta di una cometa da parte dell’altro “cacciatore” Montaigne de Limoges (con il quale era in competizione) anche per via della morte della moglie, avvenuta nello stesso periodo. Durante il funerale, un amico voleva consolarlo della sua perdita, cos\u00ec Messier inizi\u00f2 a sbraitare contro Montaigne, reo di avergli rubato la cometa. Dopo un po’, accorgendosi che l’amico stava parlando della moglie, sospir\u00f2: “ah, povera donna!”, continuando poi a lamentarsi della sua cometa. <\/div>\n<\/p>\n

(ENG) <\/span><\/em>This crater has a very singular formation. According to some, the impactor came at grazing angle from the East forming the first oval crater (Messier A), than bounced to form the second. The name given to these craters appears very appropriate for the great comet-seeker Charles Messier. A wicked but tasty story, reported by Stephen James O’Meara and showing Messier’s devotion to astronomy, deserves to be quoted. Messier was anticipated in the discovery of a comet by Montaigne de Limoges (which he was in competion with) also because his wife’s death, occurred in the same period. A friend wanted to consolate him for his loss, so Messier started yelling at Montaigne, who had stolen his comet. After a while, realizing the friend was talking about the wife, he sighed: “ah, the poor woman!” and kept complaining about the comet.
