Author: Patrick Moore
Hard cover with dust jacket. Very good condition. First edition.
Patrick Moore on the Moon by Sir Patrick Moore is an enthusiastic and accessible guide to Earth’s lunar companion written by one of the twentieth century’s best-known amateur astronomers, drawing on decades of observation through telescopes and a lifelong fascination with the Moon. The book combines clear explanations of lunar features such as craters, mountains, and maria with historical context on how our understanding of the Moon has developed—from early telescopic study through the space age—and includes practical guidance for observers, myths and misconceptions about the Moon, and insights into past and possible future exploration. Moore treats the Moon as a world in its own right, blending scientific detail with engaging storytelling to make selenography appealing to both novice sky-watchers and seasoned enthusiasts.
