Review: Never thought I’d listen to someone love the moon (nearly) as much as me. - Incredible book! I love it so much, and will definitely be visiting it again sometime! Walks you through the moon herself, and how she came to be. Detailed imagery of her beautiful surface, labelled and notated to a T. Teaches you about how every curve, crevice, and cluster was formed; and how humanity, since the dawn of time, have been adoring her in any way they can. Then, walks you through equipment, their importance, and THEIR history too. All clearly spoken, told by a truly passionate narrator. At no point did I feel out of my depth, it was truly explained with so much love and care, I understood every word! Have put several other works of this author in my “to buy” list, and I cannot wait to do so too! Review: What A Delightful Book! - Who amongst us hasn't gazed up at the moon and felt intrigued by it's beauty. As a young child I vividly recall my feeling of wonder at being told by my mother that men were walking on it at that very moment, and if I looked hard enough I might just see them (provided I ate all my carrots of course!) Years later, that sense of wonder is rekindled by this lovely book. This is a beginner's guide and written to be accessible to a wide audience, be they a schoolchild or adult. It isn't heavy going, and the information comes in brief, well articulated sections. It's a slim paperback (and certainly not a pamphlet as suggested by one reviewer) that's divided into three sections: General lunar information, a lunar atlas and finally, astrophotography. Section 1 - The Moon Thirty three pages covering subjects such as its origin, orbit, phases, surface feature nomenclature, observation, exploration, eclipses, conjunctions and so on. Did you know that the traditional name for a full moon in January is a 'wolf moon' ? Or that Apollo 11 landed on a bed of ancient solidified lava? Section 2 - Lunar Atlas The lunar surface (that visible from Earth) divided into 16 squares, with a map of each, accompanied by the corresponding photograph and some interesting notes. Section 3 - Astrophotography Some really useful advice here about how to take our own photographs, whether with a DSLR, or an inexpensive telescope and a smartphone. Altogether a lovely book, Moongazing satisfies a general interest and provides a primer for anyone who might discover they're keen to know more. I loved reading it, and I shall buying another to give as a gift to a family member. Great fun for young and old alike. Recommended. ## Features - Warning:Do not use near overhead power lines. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 33,360 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 6 in Astronomy Charts 8 in Star Gazing 9 in Astrophotography | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 993 Reviews | ## Images ![Moongazing - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81J+unEES1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Never thought I’d listen to someone love the moon (nearly) as much as me. *by D***E on 3 March 2026* Incredible book!
