About this Item

This book examines the Moon's origins and its place in the general scheme of the Universe, how it moves and its close relationship with the Earth. The question of the formation of the surface features is dealt with in detail, and, in particular, the origin of the walled plains and craters. There is a further discussion of the problem of whether the Moon is totally inert, or displays occasional signs of activity - 'Transient Lunar Phenomena', to quote the term in general use, and one originated by the author. For the benefit of the telescopic observer the appendices present maps and detailed descriptions of individual features on the Moon. Various eclipse and numerical data are also given, with a bibliography of books and maps. As an introduction to the Moon, and as a practical observational guide, this book remains unsurpassed.
