In 1959, the Soviet Luna 3 probe captured the first photographs of the far side of the Moon. Even in low resolution, the images stunned scientists: the far side looked like a vast expanse of mountain ranges, not the vast lava plains that cover the side visible from Earth. Subsequent missions confirmed this discovery with high-quality images. Why does the Moon look this way, and could it tell us something about our place in the Universe? It turns out it could—and quite a lot.

In When Earth Had Two Moons, renowned planetary scientist Eric Asfaugh takes us on a fascinating journey into the earliest times of our Galaxy to discover why the Moon is so different. Written with engaging provocative arguments, this book is not only a dizzying astronomical tour but also a profound exploration of the origins of life billions of kilometers from home.
