Comprehensive and lushly illustrated, this book examines Earth's only satellite in strikingly intricate detail. It allows amateur stargazers to locate hundreds of lunar features and explore them with confidence. Exceptional photographs by Thierry Legault chart the moon's features in remarkable detail. The most distinctive feature of this atlas is the use of clear overlays to identify the moon's many craters, mountains, valleys and seas visible by telescope, binoculars or the naked eye. It includes a photographic record of the moon in all its phases, maps illustrating the topography of 57 of the moon's major features, plus calendars tracking co-longitude to the year 2008 and eclipses to the year 2011.
