Who Built the Moon? (29 page)

Plate 12 Newgrange Passage Tomb, Ireland, and Plate 13 the Ring of Brodgar, Scotland. Structures like these tell us a great deal about the Neolithic people’s fascination with the Moon.

Plate 14 The view from the Moon: Earthrise.

Plate 15 The first human footprint left on the Moon. Between 1969 and 1972 twelve astronauts walked on the Moon. The information gathered during those expeditions has greatly increased our knowledge of the Moon. But it has also posed as many questions as it has answered.

Plate 16 The Apollo 17 Insignia, the last manned voyage to the Moon.

Plate 17 The Lunar Module (LEM), the first manned vehicle to land on the Moon.

Plate 18 Could electrical storms on earth have contributed to the appearance of DNA?
