- Information
Description
In a convenient folded format, Philip's Moon Map is a superbly detailed, large-format map of the near (visible) side of the Moon.
Specially drawn for Philip's by Dr John Murray, an expert on the lunar surface, the map is not only a highly accurate and clear representation of the Moon but is also a practical guide for lunar observers. More than 500 physical features - craters, seas, mountain ranges, peaks, valleys and rilles (elongated depressions) - are named and indexed, and the landing sites of unmanned and manned spacecraft are also marked.
The observer can thus readily identify objects seen through binoculars or a telescope, or pick targets for a programme of observation.
The accompanying text is a practical guide to Moonwatching, which explains how to use the map and highlights the most interesting lunar features.
Close-up images of some of these objects show what the observer can expect to see.
Also included are photographs of the Moon at each daily stage and a smaller map of the far side, as revealed by satellites.
Guidelines on drawing or photographing the Moon are also included.
