Geyer and Jack R. Van Lopik, \u003cem\u003eUse of Geophysical Measurements in Lunar Surface Analysis\u003c\/em\u003e examines the use of geophysical techniques to investigate and interpret the lunar surface. It was published in the \u003cem\u003eAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences\u003c\/em\u003e, Volume 123, Article 2, pages 1160–1174, on July 15, 1965.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe date makes this publication particularly interesting. It appeared four years before Apollo 11 and nearly a year before Surveyor 1 made the first successful American soft landing on the Moon. At the time, fundamental questions about the Moon's surface remained unresolved, and understanding its physical properties had direct implications for the spacecraft and astronauts that would eventually attempt to land there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is a separately issued \u003cstrong\u003eoriginal 1965 reprint\/offprint\u003c\/strong\u003e of the journal article rather than a modern reproduction. Scientific offprints were produced so individual research papers could be distributed independently of the complete journal volume, often among researchers, universities, and scientific institutions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe surviving library classification label adds to its period character and indicates that this example was formerly held in a geological or scientific collection. The paper covers show expected age-related toning and edge wear, as visible in the photographs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fascinating piece of pre-Apollo lunar science from the period when reaching the Moon was no longer science fiction—but scientists were still working out exactly what astronauts would find when they got there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRichard A.
