Since 2009, NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) has been orbiting the Moon, photographing and mapping its surface. Newly formed craters have been found and even footprints left by the Apollo astronauts have been recorded.
This lavishly designed volume shows the landscapes of our Earth's satellite in a completely new light. In addition to a complete moon atlas, supplemented by fantastic images from the LRO, it provides information on the latest research findings, describes the moon as a night star and celestial body, and reports on past and future moon missions.
State-of-the-art photographic technology enables oblique views of craters and mountains as well as 3D images with a real wow effect.
A scientifically and visually unique book – almost like a trip to the moon.
The author Thorsten Dambeck is a physicist and science journalist. He writes for Bild der Wissenschaft, Spektrum der Wissenschaft and Spiegel Online, among others.
