Hommage

image by Igor Korenika, Slovenia


When it began, LPOD proclaimed an interest in the places, books and people important in lunar history, as well as lunar images and maps. We have been sorely remiss in places and people so I am pleased to feature Igor's photo from his pilgrimage to the historic Paris Observatory at Meudon. In the foreground, brought all the way from Slovenia just for this picture, Igor has placed the last traditional classic book named The Moon, by Wilkins and Moore. The connection is that in the early 1950s the authors received permission to visually observe with the great Chuck Wood
