Wishing each of you the all the best in these trying times. As I write this, my niece has COVID-19, so it is starting to really hit home. Be safe out there!

In the August 2020 The Lunar Observer, you will find timely and interesting tours of lunar topography by Alberto Anunziato, Robert H. Hays, Jr., Rik Hill, Howard Eskildsen and David Teske. As always, Tony Cook provides an interesting look at Lunar Geologic Change with an updated format.

Next month, the Focus-On article by Jerry Hubbell will feature lunar targets 21-30 (see page 7 for details). Please be sure to send in your articles and images to both David Teske and Jerry Hubbell. We look very forward to your submissions.

Clear skies!
