The Evolution of the Lunar Crust
Original language description
1609 AD marked the beginning of the modern scientific exploration of the Moon's crust when Thomas Harriot and later Galileo Galilei made the first recorded maps of the nearside with telescopic observations. Galileo's observations in particular, using a more advanced telescope than was previously available, revealed lunar surface features and topography in detail, effectively refuting the view from Aristotle that the Moon was a perfect, translucent sphere. In 1840, John W. Draper made the first successful photographs of an astronomical object with his daguerreotype photos of the Moon. Increasingly higher quality images of the Moon, first with telescopes and later with spacecraft, served as the primary tool for exploring the Moon's crust (e.g., Baldwin 1963) until the first samples were returned to Earth by Neil A. Armstrong, Edwin E. "Buzz" Aldrin, and Michael Collins on July 24th 1969.
