Sub-sections Observational sub-sections The BAA Lunar Section incorporates four observationally active sub-sections, each having its own specialist coordinator. These sub-sections cover: Occultations — timing the disappearance and reappearance of celestial objects at the lunar limb. Transient Lunar Phenomena (TLP) — observing temporary phenomena such as glows, flashes and obscurations at or near the lunar surface. Topography — visually observing the Moon's surface and recording it by means of notes and observational drwaings.   Photography — imaging the Moon and associated phenomena. Research sub-sections In addition to the observational sub-sections above, research into the Moon is conducted by the following sub-sections: Computing — Calculating a wide range of lunar phenomena. Geology — Understanding the forces that have sculpted the Moon. Historical — Researching Moon-related material of the past. Section archives — A respository for Lunar Section publications.
