As always, I hope that this issue of The Lunar Observer finds you and your loved ones doing well. In this issue of The Lunar Observer, we have some amazing articles and images.
· Lawrence Garrett discusses the possibility of glimpsing the peaks of the farside crater Schrödinger. It is interesting to me that we can even have such a title!
· Michael Machleb presents a way to show both the young crescent Moon and Earthshine in the same image, and identifies many of the brighter areas visible in the Earthshine.
· Greg Shanos discusses the Lunar Standstill and also takes a look at Rupes Recta.
· Rik Hill takes a look at areas around Copernicus and Eratosthenes as well as Straight Walls near Rupes Recta.
· Alberto Anunziato investigates proposed nomenclature for lunar dorsa and the reasoning behind it. Plus, he investigates the Rupes Recta with this month’s Focus On article. Besides the informative text, there are wonderful lunar images and drawings from across the globe.
The Recent Topographic Studies, there are many very nice images of the Moon, including new contributor Gabriela Wasikiewicz of Poland. Welcome aboard you lunar studies Gabriela! Studying the Moon can be a great science of its own, or a springboard to studying the greater universe.
As always, Tony Cook has provided in depth studies in Lunar Geologic Change.
