For centuries, the moon had been synonymous with mystery, an unknown. But over the years, humanity has studied this brilliant satellite and even managed to venture there. Mystery turned into discovery, which then turned into possibility. Earth’s moon is a constant, universal to all humans, both past and present. A rare and unifying phenomenon. It transcends languages, continents and fields of study. But perhaps, more commonly, it is a source of inspiration. The moon’s influence is not contained to scientific research, but can be found in fashion, art, architecture and film. A stunning selection of images revolving around all things moon-related, from fashion to space travel, is presented alongside text by space journalist and TV presenter Sarah Cruddas, who examines the moon as a scientific and cultural symbol. The moon is more than a natural satellite: it is a beacon of hope, a pinnacle to strive for.
