There are still many questions that remain about the Moon, which
this book examines. From concentric craters to lunar swirls, water
vapor and lunar reverberations on impact, Foster collects it all
for a fascinating tour that will illuminate the backyard observer's
understanding of this easily viewed, yet also imperfectly
understood, celestial object. Data from Apollo and a flotilla of
unmanned Moon orbiters, crashers, and landers have all contributed
to our understanding of the Moon, but these mysteries linger
despite decades of research. When Project Apollo brought back lunar
rocks and soil samples, it opened a new chapter of understanding
Earth's lone natural satellite, a process that continues to this
day, as old results are revisited and new techniques are used on
existing samples. Topics such as the origin, evolution, structure
and composition of the Moon, however, are still under debate. Lunar
research is still an active field of study. New technologies make
it possible to continue to learn. But even so, the Moon continues
to hold tight to some of its oldest and most cherished secrets.
Foster examines many of the most interesting puzzles and what has
been revealed by exploring them - as well as what questions remain.
