With dazzling images on every spread, and illuminating text by astrobiologist Dr. David warmflash, moon: an illustrated history chronologically presents 100 milestones in the Moon s development and exploration. Starting 4.5 billion years ago when the moon formed, this stunning volume moves from the hypotheses of the Moon s formation (4.5 billion years ago) to sixth-century BCE predictions of solar eclipses, from the twentieth-century space race between the US and the Soviet Union to private space companies and possible future lunar colonies. Find out about lunar Calendar systems and cults in the Bible; how lunar brightness was used to estimate stellar distances; how advancing telescopes in the seventeenth century allowed us to eye the moon more closely; how author Jules Verne inspired the father of astronautics; the originals of the Saturn V moon Rocket; the Apollo missions, and so much more.
