As we come to the end of a most unusual year, I am hoping this finds all of you healthy and that you remain such! This is another fantastic issue of The Lunar Observer, made possible by all of our contributors. This issue has numerous great images and drawings of our Moon. Again, numerous contributors have submitted articles about the Moon, including essays by Rik Hill, Robert H. Hays, Jr. and David Teske. Alberto Anunziato and Raffaello Lena have very interesting takes about lunar wrinkle ridges. Sergio Babino and Alberto Anunziato also explore a craterlet in Mare Crisium. Very interesting work from all!
