| Title | Lunar Orbiter Photographic Atlas of the Near Side of the Moon |
| Author(s) | Byrne, Charles |
| Publication | London, Springer London, 2005. |
| Description | X, 329 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | In 1967, Lunar Orbiter Mission 4 sent back to Earth a superb series of photographs of the surface of the Moon, despite severe degradation caused by scanning and the reconstruction processes involved in transmission from lunar orbit. Using 21st century techniques, Charles Byrne?? - previously System Engineer of the Apollo Program for Lunar Orbiter Photography -?? has removed almost all the artifacts and imperfections to provide a comprehensive and beautifully detailed set of images of the lunar surface. The book has been organized to make it easy for astronomers to use, enabling ground-based images and views to be compared with the Orbiter photographs.?? The photographs are striking for their consistent Sun angles (for uniform appearance).?? All features are identified with their current IAU-approved names, and each photograph is located in terms of latitude and longitude.?? To help practical astronomers, all the photographs are systematically related to an Earth-based view. ?? |

| Title | The Moon's Near Side Megabasin and Far Side Bulge |
| Author(s) | Byrne, Charles |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2013. |
| Description | XIII, 125 p. 78 illus., 33 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Since Luna and Lunar Orbiter photographed the far side of the Moon, the mysterious dichotomy between the face of the Moon as we see it from Earth and the side of the Moon that is hidden has puzzled lunar scientists. As we learned more from the Apollo sample return missions and later robotic satellites, the puzzle literally deepened, showing asymmetry of the crust and mantle, all the way to the core of the Moon. This book summarizes the author???s successful search for an ancient impact feature, the Near Side Megabasin of the Moon and the extensions to impact theory needed to find it. The implications of this ancient event are developed to answer many of the questions about the history of the Moon |

| Title | The Far Side of the Moon : A Photographic Guide |
| Author(s) | Byrne, Charles |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2008. |
| Description | XI, 215 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book is a companion to Byrnes's award-winning Lunar Orbiter Photographic Atlas of the Near Side of the Moon (Springer, 2005). It provides comprehensive coverage of the far side of the Moon, and is the first book that collects photographs from all five Lunar Orbiter missions: Clementine, Apollo, Luna, Zond, and Nozomi. As in the previous book, the scanning artifacts of the Lunar Orbiter photos have been cleaned. The photographs show each part of the far side in the most favorable resolution and sun angle. There are many high-altitude oblique photos that provide a feeling of being in space; this book is more like a photographic tour of the far side than an atlas.?? The striking differences between the near and far side have been a major mystery for astronomers but this book suggests an explanation: a massive early impact on the near side produced the Near Side Megabasin; an impact so large that its rim is on the far side. The floor of this basin established the canvas for the portrait of the Man in the Moon and its ejecta prepared the far side for the rugged array of basins and craters shown in these photos. Since many professional and amateur astronomers direct their telescopes to the near side of the Moon; these photos provide a unique opportunity to become familiar with the far side! |
