Description

This beautifully crafted book celebrates our fascination with the Moon, marking its 50th anniversary since Neil Armstrong's historic 'small step'. Edited by the curators of Royal Museums Greenwich's exhibition The Moon, it brings together contemporary essays and stunning images in a sleek design.

Divided into four sections, the book explores how art and science meet in our connection with the Moon. From the earliest observations to recent technological advancements, and from artistic representations to scientific discoveries, this collection of essays sheds light on humanity's profound relationship with our closest cosmic companion.

Featuring authors from diverse disciplines, including cultural historians, scientists, poets, and space law experts, The Moon is a thought-provoking exploration that reflects on how our understanding of the Moon continues to evolve. A must-have for anyone curious about our place in the universe.
