Selenology Today is a new online journal devoted to the study of the
Moon. It is a free, international journal welcoming contributions
from professional and serious amateur scientists. Selenology is the
Greek word for the Moon and Today refers to modern studies that
derive understanding from detailed imaging and measurements of
surface characteristics. Selenology Today can be downloaded from:

During the space race of the 1960s there was tremendous interest in
the Moon. In the decades since there were only three probes to the
Moon, but a new race to the Moon is heating up. The European Space
Agency is currently orbiting a spacecraft around the Moon, and
China, India and the USA will send others there in 2007 and 2008.
In parallel with these large national efforts, computers and other
modern technologies have allowed skilled amateur astronomers to
contribute lunar images, measurements and analyses that rival those
of professional scientists. Selenology Today publishes articles
based on such modern approaches.
Selenology Today is published by the Geological Lunar Researches
Group (GLR), an informal international organization of about 50
lunar observers in nearly a dozen countries. GLR was started in
Italy by Raffaello Lena and Piergiovanni Salimbeni in 1997 and has
published more than 100 studies, mostly of lunar domes. Recognizing
the need for a new outlet for the publication of serious studies of
the Moon, members of GRL initiated the new journal.
The editor-in-chief of Selenology Today is Raffaello Lena from
Italy.
