This paper reviews the evolution, current status, and future prospects of lunar−based astronomical observations. It elaborates on the advantages of lunar−based platforms over other observation platforms, including immunity to Earth's atmospheric interference, extended continuous observation timelines, and stable, expansive construction spaces. The development history of lunar−based astronomical observations is traced, from the first brief manual far−ultraviolet observations during the US Apollo 16 mission in the 1970s, to the first long−term unmanned near−ultraviolet observations achieved by China's Chang'e−3 mission in the 2010s, and to the present era where multiple lunar−based observation programs are developing concurrently and competitively, aiming for large−scale, ultra−high precision, and ultra−long−term continuous stable operations. The opportunities and challenges facing lunar−based astronomical observations are analyzed, and their future development prospects are discussed. This review aims to serve as a reference for research in the field of lunar−based astronomical observations.
