This book follows the development of research on the origin of the
Moon from the late 18th century to the present. By gathering
together the major texts, papers, and events of the time, it
provides a thorough chronicle of the paradigmatic shift in
planetary science that arose from the notion that the Earth-Moon
system was formed from two colliding planetary bodies. The book
covers pre-Apollo ideas, the conceptual evolution during and
subsequent to the Apollo explorations of the Moon, and the
development of the Earth-Moon system consensus. A plethora of
excerpts from key publications are included to demonstrate the
shift in scientific focus over the centuries. Through its
comprehensive review of lunar science research and literature, this
book shows how new technologies and discoveries catalyzed the
community and revolutionized our understanding of the Moon's
formation.
