Lunar Section Overview

Welcome to the BAA Lunar Section. We have subsections covering occultations, topography, geology, lunar imaging and Transient Lunar Phenomena (TLPs). The Lunar Section Circular is published at approximately monthly intervals. This contains general news and the results of the Section’s observational work. A second publication called The Moon, devoted to more detailed papers, is published at irregular intervals.
