Description of  The Moon (Isaac Asimov's 21st Century Library of the Universe)

Earth's closest celestial neighbor (only 238,900 miles away!) and planetary partner is the Moon. It is the only world other than the Earth that humans have stood upon. Topics include the Moon's phases, eclipses, and origin, plus modern exploration, including the two new U.S. missions to the Moon.
