Description
The Moon (Kosmos) by Bill Leatherbarrow is an in-depth exploration of our closest celestial neighbour. For centuries, humans have been fascinated by the moon's presence in the night sky, and its study has played a significant role in understanding timekeeping and early religions. This book provides expert insight into the history of lunar observation, from ancient times to modern-day telescopic studies. Leatherbarrow draws on his own decades of experience to describe how our understanding of the moon has evolved, as well as current scientific thinking and developments in lunar science since the advent of the Space Age. With extensive illustrations of the lunar surface taken from both spacecraft and amateur equipment, this book offers a comprehensive introduction to complex astrophysical concepts. Whether you're an amateur astronomer or simply curious about our natural satellite, The Moon (Kosmos) provides practical advice on how to make your own observations of the moon, making it an accessible and engaging read for anyone interested in exploring the wonders of the cosmos.
