Lunar observations refer to the systematic study and monitoring of the Moon’s physical characteristics, behavior, and phenomena. This includes the examination of its surface features, such as craters, maria, and highlands, as well as its phases, orbital dynamics, and interactions with Earth. Observers utilize telescopes, photographic equipment, and more advanced astronomical instruments to gather data about the Moon’s composition, geology, and atmospherics. Lunar observations have been made since ancient times and have contributed to our understanding of both the Moon and broader astronomical principles, including tides and the history of the solar system. They are essential for both amateur enthusiasts and scientific research, providing insights into celestial mechanics, planetary science, and potential future human exploration.
