Description
Following the same chronological format as ‘Weather: An Illustrated History’, ‘Moon: An Illustrated History’ presents a visual history of the moon’s formation and historical and future exploration. One hundred milestones in the moon’s development, observation, and exploration are accompanied by stunning, full-page artwork, depicting important moments from the giant impact hypothesis (four billion years ago) to the first predictions of solar eclipses in the 6th century BCE to the 20th-century Space Race between the US and the Soviet Union to SpaceX and possible lunar bases and colonies of the future. Written by astrobiologist and science writer Dr. David Warmflash, ‘Moon: An Illustrated History’ provides context and is a perfect companion for the 50th anniversary of the historic Apollo 11 landing in July 2019.
