LOS OBSERVADORES LUNARES DE LA SOCIEDAD LUNAR ARGENTINA EN “THE LUNAR OBSERVER” DE OCTUBRE 2021

 

75 meses seguidos de observaciones lunares reportadas, 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.

I do hope that all is well with you and your loved ones. In the northern hemisphere, autumn is upon us and leaves are turning colors, which are a joy to behold. With this issue of The Lunar Observer, we explore the Moon in color with two vivid articles. The first is “Studies of the Moon Before the Telescope in Science and Art” (page 4) by Francis Graham. This is a fascinating and beautiful article exploring the Moon and just what was seen in times past. Also in this issue, Howard Eskildsen explores the “Color Saturation Enhanced Waning Gibbous Moon” (page 14). I really like his colorful image, especially the area around Lichtenberg. Please see for yourself. Also in this issue, Alberto Anunziato explores the little explored regions of Nonius, Dorsum Fontenelle and Montes Recti (with Sergio Babino). Alberto includes his drawings as does Robert H. Hays, Jr. in his article on Hippalus (page 11). These drawings are wonderful works of art featuring Luna. Rik Hill also leads us on a lunar excursion in the Southern Highlands. Tony Cook is doing double duty as he writes another interesting and thorough Lunar Geologic Change article plus is the new editor of the BAA (British Astronomical Association) Lunar Circular. Congratulations Tony! Plus there are many wonderful images of the Moon in the Recent Lunar Topographic Studies section. Many thanks to all who contributed to make this a wonderful, and indeed colorful issue of The Lunar Observer. A reminder that the Focus-On submissions for the Lunar 100 numbers 91-100 are due by October 20, 2021 to Alberto and myself. Search for those images of Ina and Mare Marginis swirls! Also, please search your files for images of Mare Crisium for the following Focus-On study.
