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).
