Scientific paper

The Moon would be an excellent platform for photometric astronomical observations. This paper discusses such observations, emphasizing time-series photometry of oscillating stars (asteroseismology), of faint gravitating bodies (microlensing), and of the interplanetary medium. To prepare for the deployment of major new telescopes and instrumentation on the surface of the Moon, I suggest that smaller 'site survey' instruments be put in place as soon as possible. Each application suggested can derive great benefits from small site-survey instruments established relatively soon, and each would ultimately need extensive arrays of large instruments.
