Introduction
This course deals with the Moon, the only planetary body that everyone is familiar with seeing in the sky. You will learn about the nearest planetary body to Earth, the long record of cratering on its surface, and about the ancient eruptions that flooded many low-lying areas. If possible, it would be helpful to get a look at the Moon's surface before studying this course (even if you have no optical aid available), but don't worry if you are unable to do this.
