Information collected by recent space probes sent to explore the Moon
by the USA, the European Space Agency, Japan, China and India has
changed our knowledge and understanding of the Moon, particularly its
geology, since the Apollo missions. This book presents those findings
in a way that will be welcomed by amateur astronomers, students,
educators and anyone interested in the Moon. Enhanced by many colour
photos, it combines newly acquired scientific understanding with
detailed descriptions and labelled photographic maps of the lunar
surface. Guided by observation methods explained in the book and 17
Study Areas presented and carefully explained in the last chapter,
amateur astronomers can observe these features from Earth using
telescopes and binoculars. Readers who consult the photographic maps
will gain a better understanding about the Moon’s topography and
geology. The book is rounded out by a helpful glossary.
