Modern Moon - a personally guided view

If you're interested in the Moon, or you don't know you're
interested in the Moon, or just plain forgotten about the
Moon ;-) or think you ain't interested in the Moon ;-), you
need the book, The Modern Moon A Personal View by Charles
Wood. In my opinion, it is one of the best Moon book I've
ever read. If you already own the book or are planning to
run to the nearest bookstore ;-), here's a supplement that
may help you plan your observation of our closest neighbor.

Great list, Bee. Definitely adding a copy of that the back of my
_Modern Moon_. - Thanks. Canopus56

Wow, Ron! Thank you.

For those who haven't followed the link, it's worth the time, especially the
indexing of LPOD with days in the lunar cycle.

One project I have always wanted to do is to create a cross-referencing
list between aerial and space based photographs of Earth geologic
features and their analogs on the Moon's surface. The Moon is a big
3-D map. Wood's _Modern Moon_ was a few references. Another source is
Schultz's _Moon Morphology_. For example, there was a PBS special on
last night about the Undara lava tube in Australia, a lava tube about a
hundred miles long. It is believed to be the closet Earth analog to a
lunar rille. See -

http://volcano.und.nodak.edu/vwdocs/...ra/undara.html
http://volcano.und.nodak.edu/vwdocs/...ava_tubes.html

Such a list would enchance the enjoyment of lunar viewing.

Does anyone know of a magazine or journal article, a book, or a website
containing such a list?
