      <description>
        <![CDATA[&nbsp;Issue 16 of Selenology Today features articles about
	spurious meteoroid impacts on the Moon later turning out as reflections
	of sunlight by a US military satellite, a refined shape from shading
	method for image-based 3D reconstruction of the lunar surface, and
	an overview and discussion of observations of the dark spot which
	formed in the atmosphere of Jupiter in July 2009 as a result of the
	impact of an asteroid or comet.]]>

      <description>
        <![CDATA[&nbsp;Issue 17 of Selenology Today features articles about
	the use of the Kaguya global DEM to reproduce TLPs using the software
	LTVT, ground-based photometric observations of the LCROSS impact, the
	analysis of ejecta flow patterns, the use of anaglyph images for lunar
	topographic studies, and a spectral study of the Archimedes south rim
	"red spot" anomaly.]]>

      <description>
        <![CDATA[&nbsp;Issue 18 of Selenology Today features two articles about
	the extraction of spectral features from Clementine and Selene multispectral
	imagery. In the third article, these methods along with a subsequent
	regression-based estimation of elemental abundances of the lunar regolith
	are applied to a lunar volcanic cone near the crater Flamsteed.]]>

      <title>Issue 19 of Selenology Today available</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[&nbsp;Issue 19 of Selenology Today is a special issue titled
		"Manual for Lunar Spectral Work". It provides an overview of the relation
		between lunar spectra and the corresponding minerals, the use of Clementine
		UVVIS and NIR imagery for spectral mapping, the estimation of the FeO and
		TiO2 content of the surface material based on classical methods, the
		mapping of spectral parameters, and the production of elemental abundance
		maps using visible and near-infrared spectral features by applying a newly
		developed regression approach. Software source code which can be readily
		used in the free programming environment Octave is provided in the appendix
		of the manual.]]>

      <title>Issue 20 of Selenology Today available</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[&nbsp;Issue 20 of Selenology Today features a collection of six
		articles. The first article provides impressions from the Lunar Morphology
		Conference at Stellafane which took place on August 05, 2010. The second
		article describes the shadow-based measurement of rim to floor and central
		peak to floor elevations for the lunar crater Pitatus. The subsequent two
		works are spectral and stratigraphic studies of the regions around the
		craters Arago and Eimmart, respectively. A further article regards the
		search for lunar dome candidates using LOLA data, whereas the determination
		of elevation differences in and around small craterlets inside Plato based
		on the classical approach of shadow length analysis are described in the
		last article of the issue.]]>

      <title>Issue 21 of Selenology Today available</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[&nbsp;Issue 21 of Selenology Today features five articles. The first article
		presents a public domain software to load and display the LRO WAC image files recently
		made available on the internet. In the second article, lunar cones near
		Milichius crater are discussed and compared with more well-known lunar cones in other
		regions. Image-based height measurements of selected peaks in Montes Alpes are
		described in the third article. The fourth article somewhat extends the usual scope
		of ST as it discusses the visibility of the early lunar crescent in the context of an
		objective definition of an islamic calendar. The last article of the current issue is
		a study of the lunar red spot feature Mons Hansteen, which likely represents one
		of the rare examples of lunar highland volcanism. Morphometric and multispectral data
		are analysed and a comparison to well-known lunar highland domes (Gruithuisen and
		Mairan domes) is provided.]]>

      <description>
        <![CDATA[&nbsp;Issue 22 of Selenology Today is a rapid communication describing
		the telescopic detection of a meteoroid impact on the Moon. The intensity of the
		recorded flash is well above the noise level, the event covers several frames,
		and the final confirmation comes from the fact that it was detected by two
		independent distant observers.]]>

        <![CDATA[&nbsp;Issue 23 of Selenology Today features an article about the meteoroid
		impact on the Moon described in the previous issue of ST. In addition to a detailed
		analysis of the observational data, the results of a modelling analysis are reported
		in an attempt to estimate the size of the impactor and the resulting impact crater.]]>

        <![CDATA[&nbsp;The Consolidated Lunar Dome Catalogue (CLDC) has been updated with
		all lunar domes examined by the GLR group since autumn 2009, such as 30 domes in

		of Menelaus.]]>
