“For the moment, consider that to inhabit a territory, that is to say, to build up one’s abode, to build a home, always implies a vital decision which engages the existence of the entire community. To be ‘situated’ in a landscape, to organize it, to inhabit it, are actions which presuppose an existential choice: the choice of the ‘Universe’ that one is prepared to assume by ‘creating’ it. 

– Mircea Eliade, the twentieth-century historian of religions

In 1609 Galileo pointed his telescope to the Moon for the first time. He examined and drew the moon. The first description of Lunar craters were described in his book Sidereus Nuncius. Source
