The Man In The Moone
''The Man in the Moone'' is a book by the English Divine (noun), divine and Church of England bishop Francis Godwin (1562–1633), describing a "voyage of utopian discovery". Long considered to be one of his early works, it is now generally thought to have been written in the late 1620s. It was first published posthumously in 1638 under the pseudonym of Domingo Gonsales. The work is notable for its role in what was called the "new astronomy", the branch of astronomy influenced especially by Nicolaus Copernicus. Although Copernicus is the only astronomer mentioned by name, the book also draws on the theories of Johannes Kepler and William Gilbert (astronomer), William Gilbert. Godwin's astronomical theories were greatly influenced by Galileo Galilei's ''Sidereus Nuncius'' (1610), but unlike Galileo, Godwin proposes that the dark spots on the Moon are seas, one of many parallels with Kepler's ''Somnium (novel), Somnium sive opus posthumum de astronomia lunari'' of 1634.

González is a Spanish surname of Germanic origin, the second most common (2.16% of the population) in Spain, as well as one of the five most common surnames in Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Paraguay, and Venezuela, and one of the most common surnames in the entire Spanish-speaking world. As of 2017, it is the 13th most common surname in the United States. Origin González is a Spanish name. Its origins trace back to a Visigothic name combining the words ''gunþo'' ('' guntho'') (''battle'' or ''war'') and ''alf'' (''elf''); the Latinized form was Gundisalv.

González is also taken to mean "son of Gonzalo", "noble warrior", "soldier" or "castle guard". Common spellings include: Gonzalez (no acute accent), Gonzále ...
