Welsh astronomer Barbara Middlehurst cataloged extant reports of lunar transient phenomena. The reality of these observed changes on the Moon remains controversial. With Gerard Kuiper she also edited two multi‐volume compendia of astronomical review articles. The Solar System in the 1950s and Stars and Stellar Systems in the 1960s.
