In 1959, the Soviet station Luna-3 took the first photographs of the back side of the Moon. Even in poor resolution, the images stunned scientists: the back side looked like a vast expanse of mountain ranges rather than the vast lava plains that cover the side visible from Earth. Subsequent missions with high-quality images confirmed this discovery. Why does the Moon look like this and can it tell us anything about our place in the Universe? As it turns out, it can - and quite a lot. In When Earth Had Two Moons, renowned planetologist Eric Asfog takes us on an exciting journey back to the most distant times in our galaxy to find out why the Moon is so different. Interestingly written, with provocative arguments, this book is not only a dizzying astronomical tour, but also an in-depth exploration of the origins of life billions of kilometers from our home.
