Scientific paper

The paper contains a short outline of the Moon's spherical astronomy. The problems of the mean and of the apparent selenocentric and lunar topocentric spherical coordinates are treated deeply. The advantages and disadvantages of the different spherical coordinate systems, such as selenoequatorial, geoequatorial, ecliptic, stellar, and Moon's horizontal, for orientation in space from the Moon are discussed. The necessary formulas are given to calculate the mean and the apparent positions of stars and other celestial bodies in each of the coordinate systems, ragarded equally as selenocentric or lunar topocentric. The appendices contain short descriptions of all the phenomena related to the discussed coordinate systems: the Moon's precession and nutation, lunar aberrations and lunar parallaxes; the general aberrational and parallactic formulas are also given.
