As always, thanks so much for the contributors and readers
of The Lunar Observer. In the March 2020 issue, we have some rather
remarkable articles. Jerry Hubbell concludes is Focus-On section of the ALPO
selected regions craters with a discussion of Tycho and Herodotus. Robert H.
Hays Jr. brings a timely and very nice article and drawing of Herodotus. Alberto Anunziato gives us two articles. The first is an
article and drawing about Hipparchus C. The second is a fascinating historical
research about an event on the Moon seen in 577. This was athe first LTP ever
listed. Darryl Wilson continues his thermal
imaging articles with an article about Thermal Imaging of Tycho. His articles
of thermal imaging have stirred up much interest lately. The Gardner Megadome is
a very interesting area of the Moon to observe. It is the subject of two
in-depth articles by Howard Eskildsen and Raffaello Lena. Rik Hill and David
Tes-ke continue their wanderings of a remarkable lunar moonscape with images
and articles. Sixteen observers contributed articles to the Recent Topographic
Studies Program. Tony Cook as always has contributed an interesting article
about Lunar Geologic Change. Thanks again to all who contributed. I hope that
you can get out and enjoy some wonderful moon observations.
