Excerpt from A Comparison of the Features of the Earth and the Moon The story of the physical conditions of the moon had best be begun by noting that the relation of our satellite to a larger sphere is not exceptional, but' the most characteristic of all the relations of one stellar body to another. Of the planets in the solar system, all save the two nearest to the sun, Mercury and Venus, have one or more smaller spheres circling about them. The relation of the sun to the several planets in a larger way repeats this plan of grouping lesser about greater orbs. It is generally believed by astronomers that the celestial spheres have been formed by a process of condensation, due to gravitation, of matter which was originally widely diffused; that our solar system, before it was organized into the sun and lesser bodies, was in the form of a diffused nebulous mass of spheroidal form which extended beyond the orbit of the outermost planet. As this matter gathered towards the center, the material now in each of the planets and its satel lites parted from the parent body, probably at first in the form of a nebulous ring, or spiral, which in time broke and gathered into a spheroidal mass. In that detached portion of the parent nebula the process of concentration was repeated, with the result that satellites, or, as we may term them, secondary planets, were formed substantially as the greater Spheres were set off from the sun. There are many questions and doubts concerning the details of this nebular theory, but that the evolution of our solar system and probably of all stellar sys tems took place in substantially the manner indicated appears to be eminently probable; it is, indeed, fairly well established by what we know of the distant nebular: and by the rings of Saturn, which apparently contain the material which normally Should have formed one or more of its satellites, but which for some unknown reason have remained unbroken. It is not certain at just what stage in the concentration of a nebula a planet or a satellite may be set off from the parent body; nor can the present distance of the satellite from the main sphere be assumed as that at which the parting took place. It is possible that the concentration of the parent body had gone so far that the diffused or nebulous stage of its materials had been passed by and the more advanced stage of igneous fluidity entered on. It is, however, more likely that in all cases the separation occurred while the particles of matter were di vided as they are in a gas or vapor. As soon as the two spheres are separated from one another, and so long as they remain in any measure fluid, the difference in their gravitative attraction on the nearer and more remote part of their masses induces tides, and the effect of these tidal movements, as has been shown by Professor George Darwin, is necessarily to impel the two bodies farther apart. It seems certain that before the earth and the moon became essentially rigid, as they now are, the effect of these tides in driving them apart must have been great enough to account for a considerable part of the interval which now separates them.

Excerpt from Lunar and Hawaiian Physical Features Compared The force of gravitation at the surface of the Moon is but one-sixth as great as it is upon the Earth, and this difference is usually given as the cause of the great compara tive size of the lunar formations. On the old theory that the lunar craters were due to explosions of steam, like our explosive volcanoes, it was evident that matter expelled from a crater vent could be thrown six times as far as upon the Earth. Although this theory is now practically abandoned, gravitation would still have an in uence on the relative size, since a cliff or pinnacle upon the Moon could be six times the height of one upon the Earth, and yet exert no greater crushing force on the material beneath it. Still it is very evident that this explanation alone is inads quate to account for the great difference in size actually observed.

Excerpt from A Trip to the Moon (From Earth to the Moon) There may be some here who remember that memorable night of August 19, 1887, when nearly all Berlin went out to those points in the suburbs of the city which the astronomers had designated as the most favorable for an observation of the phenomenon. Let us go back ln fancy to that time and see whether from our view-point we shall not have better luck than the millions who stationed themselves in the region of totality and were cheated of their great expectations by the ill-humored weather clerk. Should the clouds become obstreperous here in our lecture room, we shall at least know who is to blame and have the privilege of filing complaint with the management, which was not possible when the celestial show made so, colossal a fiasco on that occasion.
