Desde agosto de
2015 no hay un solo número de la revista especializada en observación lunar más
importante, The Lunar Observer, sin que haya observaciones y textos de nuestra
asociación.
La revista se
puede descargar de la web de ALPO: http://www.alpo-astronomy.org/gallery3/var/albums/Lunar/The-Lunar-Observer/2021/tlo202107%2812_5MB%29.pdf?m=1624990530.
En la portada se
referencian los dos artículos de miembros de la SLA aparecidos en este número
(ya publicados en entradas anteriores):

northern hemisphere readers, happy summer! Of coarse to our southern hemisphere
readers, happy winter! I hope that this finds you and your loved ones well. I hope that the weather allows you to get
out and do some gazing at our nearest natural neighbor in the universe. This
issue contains great lunar articles by Rik Hill, Alberto Anunziato and Robert H. Hays, Jr., as well as numerous
excellent images and drawings. The main part of this issue is the Focus –On the
Lunar 100, targets 71-80. This includes targets such as volcanic areas
in Atlas, saucer craters in Ptolemaeus and near limb basins Mares Smythii and
Orientale. Also, there are some nice images of the recent lunar eclipse (pages
93-94). Tony Cook has again prepared another thorough report of Lunar Geologic
Change and Detection. Thanks to all who contributed to these efforts. I have
been busy this past month on all things lunar. I have been preparing a paper for the ALPO Virtual Conference of August 13
and 14. Please plan on joining this meeting! See pages 105-106 for
details. Also, I have been scanning
cards from Winnie Cameron for use by Tony Cook. I am now into the early Apollo
days in my scanning project. It has been interesting to see the
enthusiasm of lunar observers in thoe exciting times! Clear and steady skies!

observadores que se eligieron como más representativas de algunos de estos
accidentes lunares. La totalidad de las imágenes correspondientes a los números
71-80 aparecerán en un futuro número especial de “El Mensajero de la Luna”.

En la Sección “Lunar Geological Change Detection Program” (páginas
95 y siguientes), se reportan nuestras observaciones:
Level 1 – Reports received for May included: Jay Albert (Lake Worth,
FL, USA - ALPO) observed: Aristarchus, Atlas, Gassendi, Herodotus, Mare
Serenitatis, Piazzi Smyth, and Tycho. Alberto Anunziato (Argentina – SLA) observed: Aristarchus, Aristillus,
Herodotus, and Plato. Maurice Collins (New Zealand –
ALPO/BAA/RASNZ) imaged: the lunar eclipse and several features. Anthony Cook
(Newtown, UK – ALPO/BAA) obtained video of earthshine in monochrome, and the
lunar surface in thermal IR. Chris Dole (Newbury, UK – BAA) imaged:

Fontani (Italy – UAI) imaged: Lichtenberg. Les Fry (West Wales, UK – NAS)

Luigi Zanatta (Italy – UAI) imaged Eudoxus.
Una observación visual de Alberto Anunziato y una observación
fotográfica de Pedro Humberto Romano permitieron analizar un reporte de FLT
(Fenómeno Lunar Transitorio) de 1975 en Aristarchus y la serie de imágenes
tomadas durante el último eclipse lunar por Pedro Humberto Romano permitió
analizar una serie de reportes antiguos producidos durante eclipses.
