At this address you will find a texture map with the nomenclatures for Bennu:

The USGS website https://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/
seems to be having problems and we cannot recover the longitudes and latitudes of the new features on the objects.

Bennu's image can allow us to wait.

Code: Select all

AltSurface "Bennu nomenclature" "Sol/Bennu"

The USGS and IAU website: Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature is repaired despite certain errors at times.
It allowed me to note that the maps of which I had communicated the links were badly oriented compared to Celestia.
On these maps, the longitudes range from 0 ° to 360 ° (East).
The correct orientation must be: -180 ° (West) 0 ° + 180 ° (East)
I cropped these photographic documents from Osiris-Rex.

before (0 360°) :
