Ill is percentage illumination of the Moon


2026-Jun-05 UT 02:02-02:09 Ill=81% Jansen

     BAA Request: On 2013 Aug 26 Peter Grego observed a dark patch 
     just east of Jansen D. He had not seen this before, therefore it 
     is important to repeat this observation under simuilar 
     illumination conditions. It maybe a buried crater? Ideally 
     suited to scopes of aperture 8" or larger. Please send 
     any high resolution images, detailed scetches, or 
     visual descriptions to: a t c @ a b e r . a c. u k .


2026-Jun-09 UT 02:17-02:46 Ill=43% Earthshine: (radio) Daytime Zeta Perseids: ZHR=30? (vel=25 km/s)

     These can only be observed using low-light level cameras running at 25 frames per sec,
     or faster, and capable of recording 9th or 10th magnitude stars in real time.
     Dates/UTs of observing runs, or detections of impacts, should be emailed to:

2026-Jun-22 UT 19:54-20:58 Ill=59% Montes_Caucasus

     Monte Caucasus: "shadow face" silhouette Clair-Obscur effect. 
     Clair-Obscur effects have no scientific importance just tricks 
     of the light that make us think we see something like 
     a letter of the alphabet or a shape or face. Clair-Obscur 
     effects are scientifically useless to observe. However, if 
     you want to be thrilled, or obtain an image to impress someone 
     then give them a go. This effect on the southern end of Montes 
     Caucuses looks like the side silhouette of a cartoon human face. 
     We are still slightly undertain about the precise colongitude 
     range, so if you do not see the face, try again later. If you 
     do observe, or image this, by all means send your observation 
     into ALPO or the BAA, but we probably won't publish, but will 
     nevertheless retain in our archives, just in case features 
     elsewhere in the image are of interest to future researchers.
     Note that we have some uncertainty in the colongitude range 
     - so if you don't see it, please tells us the date and UT so 
     we can make some improvements in the predictions.
