==Honors== * Undset won the Nobel prize for literature in 1928, for which she was nominated by [[Helga Eng]], member of the [[Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.nobelprize.org/nomination/archive/show.php?id=8335|title=Nomination Database|website=Nobelprize.org|access-date=11 November 2017}}</ref> * A mountain on the moon, east of crater Lambert at Mare Imbrium, was called Mons Undset, however, it was erroneously mentioned as ''Mons Undest'' on Lunar Topographic Orthophotomap 40B4. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) refused to include Mons Undset in the alphabetic gazetteer of officially named lunar formations. This mountain is nowadays known as Lambert γ (Lambert gamma).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.astronomy.com/observing/solved-undset-moon-mountain-missing-name/|publisher=Astronomy Magazine|author=Stephen James O'Meara|title=The mystery of a pyramid-like mountain on the Moon missing its name|date=21 May 2024|access-date=9 April 2025}}</ref> * A crater on the planet [[Venus]] was named after Undset.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://planetarynames.wr.usgs.gov/Feature/6224|publisher=[[International Astronomical Union]]|date=1 October 2006|access-date=14 January 2025|title=VENUS – Undset}}</ref> * Undset was depicted on a Norwegian 500 kroner note and a two-kroner postage stamp from 1982.
