A Field Guide to the Moon

In 1840, John William Draper took the world's first astrophoto from his rooftop observatory in New York City during the spring equinox. But humanity's adoration and awe of its sister satellite extend far beyond mere telescopic sightings and imagery. Packed with interviews, essays, and insights, Taylor Bruce?s Field Guide to the Moon is an all-encompassing tribute to our celestial neighbor. Learn about the history of rocket technology; discover how literature, music, and film express lunar love; and dive deep into conspiracy theories and legends. A must for every admirer of the night sky, the guide is a cover-to-cover collection of how the moon captured the world's imagination as told by astronauts, scientists, artists, journalists, and more. Made in Texas.
