This is a map of the moon drawn in 1679. The creator is a astronomer Jostani Cassini. He is the first person in history to precisely draw the moon map.

From 1671 to 1679, Cassini drawn about 60 moon maps on the surface of the moon at different light, which made people the first to witness the "true appearance" of the moon for the first time, and also made Europe at that time in Europe.Scientists have a deeper understanding of the moon.Today, the 60 -month -old map is still stored in the library of Paris Observatory.

Today is the Mid -Autumn Festival. Since ancient times, people have been appreciating the moon and reunion.Here, I also want to bless all the reunion of family and Le Ankang through this big full moon drawn by Casinini.
