In this issue of The Lunar
Observer, you will find a wide variety of lunar topics discussed, including
topo-graphic forays by Rik Hill, Robert Hayes, Jr. and David Teske. Sergio Babino and Alberto Anunziato ex-plore lunar geologic
change with an in-depth study of bright spots seen in crater Mutus F, as
discussed in last month’s Lunar Geologic Change by Tony Cook. Tony Cook brings us another in-depth discussion about
Lunar Geologic Change this month. A few new things to be on the look-out for.
On page 6, you will see “By the Numbers” about our observ-ers locations,
observations and telescopes. Also, if you have not yet heard of the book Luna
Cognita by Robert Garfinkle, check it out! Also, the USGS published a new lunar
map, available at https://www.usgs.gov/news/usgs-releases-first-ever-comprehensive-geologic-map-moon
which is really nice!
