Synopsis

Unlock the Moon’s secrets with a complete, handy map and clear guide to its surface. This edition presents a full description and map of the Moon’s principal physical features, organized to be useful in the observatory or at home. It combines a complete map, divided into quadrants, with descriptive sections that cover maria, rilles, craters, and mountain features, all explained in plain language.

The book emphasizes practical layout features that aid study in dim light, including meridian lines and latitude parallels at every ten degrees, and accessible reference names. It offers detailed descriptions of major formations, a thorough catalogue, and notes on how the lunar surface has been observed and interpreted over time. The content is grounded in long history of selenography and modern observation, while remaining focused on what a reader can see through a telescope.

- A full map of the Moon, with a four-quadrant layout for easy navigation
- Clear explanations of Maria, ring-mountains, craters, and rills
- A descriptive catalogue and practical notes for observers
- Photographic and observational context to enhance understanding

Ideal for readers of lunar observation, history, and map-based astronomy who want a reliable, reference-friendly edition.
