The '''Lunar 100''' (L100) is a list of the [[Moon]]'s one hundred most interesting regions to observe. This list of lunar objects was described by Charles A. Wood in the article ''The Lunar 100'' in [[Sky & Telescope]] magazine, April 2004.<ref name=SNT>{{cite web|last=Wood|first=Charles A.|title=The Lunar 100|url=http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/objects/moon/3308811.html?page=1&c=y|publisher=[[Sky & Telescope]]|accessdate=26 February 2013}}</ref>
The '''Lunar 100''' (L100) is a list of one hundred of the most interesting features to observe on the [[Moon]]. The list was first described by Charles A. Wood in the article ''The Lunar 100'' in [[Sky & Telescope]] magazine, April 2004.<ref name="SNT">{{cite news |last=Wood |first=Charles A. |title=The Lunar 100 |url=https://skyandtelescope.org/observing/the-lunar-100/ |accessdate=26 February 2013 |newspaper=[[Sky & Telescope]]|date=27 November 2012 }}</ref>


With this selection of Moon's places, Wood tried to give astronomy fans a list of objects similar to the [[Messier objects|Messier catalog]], but of a closer place, the Moon. The objects to observe are craters, seas, mountains and are arranged in order of difficulty to observe. The Moon is L1, L2 is [[Earthshine]], L3 is the contrast between the dark seas and the upper parts that are lighter. Up to L4 we have lunar accidents as Crater [[Tycho (crater)|Tycho]] ([http://lunar100gat.blogspot.com.es/2012/07/l6-tycho.html L6]),<ref name="L100GAT">[http://lunar100gat.blogspot.com.es Lunar 100 - GAT, Grup d'Astronomia de Tiana]</ref> [[Vallis Schröteri]] ([http://lunar100gat.blogspot.com.es/2012/06/l11-aristarchus-i-l17-vallis-schroter.html L17]),<ref name="L100GAT" /> Leibnitz Mountains ( [http://lunar100gat.blogspot.com.es/2011/10/l94-drygalski-i-l96-montes-leibnitz.html L96])<ref name="L100GAT" /> The last entry is L100 [[Mare Marginis|Marginis Sea]].<ref name="L100Astrospider">[http://www.astrospider.com/Lunar100list.htm Lunar 100] - Astrospider.</ref>

Starting from L4 we have geological features, such as craters ([[Tycho (crater)|Tycho]], L6), valleys ([[Vallis Schröteri]], L17) and mountains ([[South_Pole–Aitken_basin|Leibnitz Mountains]], L96). The last entry is L100, the magnetic swirls of [[Mare Marginis|Marginis Sea]].

L14 Sinus Iridum

The Lunar 100 (L100) is a list of one hundred of the most interesting features to observe on the Moon. The list was first described by Charles A. Wood in the article The Lunar 100 in Sky & Telescope magazine, April 2004.[1]

With this selection, Wood tried to give astronomy fans a list similar to the Messier catalog of deep-sky objects, but of a more familiar object, the Moon. The objects listed include craters, seas, mountains and other features, and are arranged in ascending order of observational difficulty. The Moon is L1, L2 is Earthshine, L3 is the contrast between the dark seas and the lighter highlands. Starting from L4 we have geological features, such as craters (Tycho, L6), valleys (Vallis Schröteri, L17) and mountains (Leibnitz Mountains, L96). The last entry is L100, the magnetic swirls of Marginis Sea.
