As I toil away at my current work in progress, wondering if I’ll ever finish or if anyone will read it, it’s energizing to hear praise for my first book! There’s some interesting #astrohistory coming in the Frost book too.

Close-up view of the "Straight Wall" This is a fault in the lunar crust, forming a slope with an inclination of about 10°. It's about 70 miles long. The small crater at the "top" of the fault is 3 miles across. To the left of the wall is Rima Birt, a volcanic channel about 1 mile across 🔭
