Sir Patrick Moore is one of the best-known and most respected astronomers in the world. For many, he is the popular face of astronomy, having presented the BBC's longest-running program, The Sky at Night, for nearly 50 years. Behind Moore's infectious enthusiasm and eccentric style lies a knowledge and passion for his subject, the Moon. In this thorough examination of the sky, Sir Patrick reviews our present knowledge of the Moon, using illustrations, diagrams, rare film archives and exclusive NASA footage of the Apollo landings, including Neil Armstrong's first walk on the lunar surface. He addresses important questions about the Moon, guides us through ten of the most important scientific discoveries to come out of lunar research, and summarizes the stories behind ten of the most memorable images from the Apollo missions.
