After several decades spent in astronomical semi-obscurity, the
Moon has of late suddenly emerged as an object of considerable
interest to students of astronomy as well as of other branches of
natural science and technology; and the reasons for this are indeed
of historical significance. For the Moon has now been destined to
be the first celestial body outside the confines of our own planet
to be reconnoitered at a close range by means of spacecraft built
and sent out by human hand for this purpose. At the time of
writing, not less than ten such spacecraft of American as well as
Rus sian origin landed already on different parts of the lunar
surface; and some of these provided remarkable records of its
detail structure to a spatial resolution increased thousandfold
over that attained so far from our ground-based facilities. A
renewed interest in our satellite, stemming from this source, on
the part of the students of many branches of science and technology
has also underlined the need for presenting the gist of our present
knowledge in this field in the form that could serve as an
introduction to the study of the Moon not only for astronomers, but
also for serious students from other branches of science or
technology.
