Lunar studies refer to the scientific study of the Earth's moon, known as the Moon. This field involves research in a variety of disciplines, including astronomy, geology, physics, and planetary science. Scientists study the composition, geology, topography, and history of the Moon, as well as its impact on Earth and the rest of the solar system. Research in lunar studies has led to important discoveries, such as the presence of water ice on the Moon and insights into the Moon's formation and evolution. Future exploration of the Moon, including by manned missions, is expected to further advance our understanding of this celestial body.
