Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. In the fifth installment of this lunar atlas, the author, an astronomer at the Paris Observatory, uses photographic plates taken in 1894, 1897, 1898, and 1899 to present a detailed study of the western portion of the Moon's surface, focusing on the topography and the composition of the lunar crust. One of the prominent details this book delves into is how the Moon's crust cooled at different rates, resulting in the formation of various geological formations like craters, faults, and rilles. The author's close examination of the lunar surface reveals a dynamic history of geological processes such as volcanic eruptions, meteorite impacts, and tectonic activity. This book contributes to our understanding of the Moon's geological evolution, and provides a valuable resource for astronomers, selenographers, and anyone interested in the exploration of our celestial neighbor.
