Studies of the moon greatly advanced after the 1950s with the launch of unmanned space missions like Luna and Surveyor, which provided close-up images and data on the lunar surface. The Apollo missions in the late 1960s and early 1970s allowed for manned exploration and sample return missions, leading to a deeper understanding of the moon's geology and history. These missions also helped confirm the giant impact hypothesis for the moon's formation and provided valuable insights into the broader field of planetary science.
