Shedding Light is the result of 30 years of research by a team of about fourteen scientists. This book consists of an introduction to meteorites and Moon rocks for the lay-person and 60 glorious color plates of meteorites and Moon rocks under the luminescence microscope. Nothing like it has been published before. These images are beautiful to look at, but they also tell a tale of these extraordinary rocks from the primitive solar system on the eve of its formation 4.5 billion years ago to Moon rocks returned by the Apollo astronauts as part of the greatest voyage of exploration undertaken by humanity.
