| Summary | "My Lady Selene" by Magnus Ludens is a science fiction novel published in the early 1960s. The narrative explores themes of exploration and the intersection between myth and science, centering on a lunar expedition. The story likely delves into the emotional and psychological aspects of space travel, as well as the connection between humanity and celestial mythologies. The plot follows Al Marcusson, a 16-year-old who learns a family secret about his heritage, hinting at a legacy of exploration. As an astronaut on a mission to the Moon, he experiences a profound encounter when he disconnects a switch, leading to a disorienting moment amid the colorful lunar landscape. Here, Marcusson has a mystical interaction with swans and the embodiment of lunar mythology, "My Lady Selene." He offers a good luck charm and pleads for Selene's understanding as a metaphor for humankind's reaching out to the unknown. Ultimately, the story reflects on the insignificance of the Moon as just another rock after Marcusson's encounter, yet leaves a lasting impression of celestial wonder and the human condition.
