Moon: Past, Present and Future

Since mankind first began to wonder about the cosmos we have dreamed of travelling to the Moon. From folklore and myths to the first science fiction, stories about our Moon inspired those scientists who turned these dreams into reality. It is fifty years since the Apollo astronauts first walked on the Moon, one of the greatest accomplishments of mankind. Now, there is a new space race to the Moon. In the last few years, all of the world's major space agencies as well as several private space companies have announced their goals of establishing a lunar settlement by 2030 - the future of lunar exploration is bright. Astronomy began by observing our Moon. Today, scientists are still making exciting discoveries about our celestial neighbour. From its origins, to the effects of the Moon on our planet and on life, this is a story I have long wanted to tell. In this biography of the Moon I will describe the history of our Moon, the latest research findings, and what the future holds for our magnificent Moon. Written in an understandable way by an Astrophysicist with a passion for understanding our Moon, this book should answer all your questions, from how our Moon causes the ocean tides to why we should go back and explore its surface.
