Mapping the Moon
November 9, 2013 – January 26, 2014
Mapping the Moon explores the influence of human perspectives and scientific tools in lunar mapping. As our closest neighbor, the Moon is a natural place for people to explore. In the years since the invention of the telescope, increasingly advanced equipment has revealed more lunar details to be mapped and named. Mapping the Moon tells the story of lunar observation and discovery from the seventeenth through the mid-twentieth centuries. Focusing on twenty collections artifacts, highlights include the objects above with captions.
