Thank you for reading the February 2020 issue of The Lunar Observer. Before telling what is in this issue, look at who is in this issue. Contributions were received from 22 observers in 7 countries! I am thrilled that we are reaching that many lunar observers. In this issue you will find articles about the craters Galle and Clausius by Robert Hayes Jr., the crater Nöggerath by Alberto Anunziato, lunar domes in the Maraldi D region by Raffaello Lena, Maximilian Teodorescu and Jim Phillips, a discussion of whether Bliss, (formally Plato A) is a banded crater by Alberto Anunziato and Francisco A. Cardinalli, an in depth look at a light cone in the crater Hesiodus and discussions of lunar landscapes by Rik Hill, Howard Eskildsen and David Teske. The pages are graced by many stunning lunar drawings and images, all taken by amateur astronomers. Tony Cook provide another thorough look at lunar geologic change.

Una imagen de Sergio Babino (erróneamente atribuida a Alberto Anunziato) de Mons Piton permitió remover un FLT de 1982 del catálogo.

Y hay una imagen de Phil Denyer (BAA) en las mismas condiciones de iluminación de un presunto FLT reportado por A. Anunziato en 2017 (página 63).
