Beschreibung
Unlocking the Moon's Secrets tells the fascinating story of how scientists solved the mystery of the Moon's origin and the cause of the Moon's craters. By showing how science evolves, complete with misunderstandings, contentious arguments, difficult to relinquish assumptions, and shifting views as new facts come to light, we can finally understand our Moon.
