The Moon has seen a revival of interest in the last few years, several in space exploration and among amateur astronomers. Of course, it's always been of interest to military people, hunters, fishermen and gardeners as well as to those wherever
the Moon plays a large part in their religion.
Telescope sales have exploded in the last five years as the cost of a decent instrument has fallen so low that really nice 'scopes now only cost a couple of hundred dollars. This has opened up the skies to a whole new generation of skywatchers.
As our cities grow ever larger, the figure of lighting has besides accrued and galore city-dwellers are hard-pushed to see thing
but the brightest stars in their neon-glow skies. But the Moon, being the second brightest object in the sky (after the Sun) suffers no such indignity. It serenely crosses the sky, ever visible (providing clouds allow!) regardless of the figure of light pollution.
