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.
