Our club evening was dedicated to old Mister Moon. Do the following names mean anything to you? Not a clue. Then it is time to grab a moon map, your telescope and some time to observe this nuisance in the sky....
Aristoteles, Valis Alpes, Morites Alpes, Mont Blanc, Cassini, Aristillus, Archimedes, Spurr (not that one), Patricia, Mons Huygens, Pallas, Herschel, Ptolemaeus; Arzachel, Purbach, Stoller and Shomberger to mention a few.
We also watched a video - "Earth without the moon!"
Thanks for everyone attending!
