Description: Uses special photographic techniques to simulate a trip to the moon by Dr. C. H. Clemenshaw of the Griffith observatory and Art Baker, television personality. Discusses the moon's temperature extremes and lack of atmosphere relating the latter to absence of erosion and the moon's rugged topography. The better known surface features such as the "seas," craters, rays, and mountians are identified and pictured in a variety of techniques. A simulated landing is made on the "dark side" of the moon and the very bright "earthshine" is explained. The difference in a person's weight on the moon and earth is indicated., Uses special photographic techniques to simulate a trip to the moon by Dr. C. H.
