This is a report synthesizing discussions of the Astronomy/Astrophysics Definition Team at the Lunar Science Strategy Workshop for the Exploration and Development of the moon which was held at the NASA Johnson Space Center during August 15-16, 1989. The long-term goal of lunar based astronomy is envisioned as the development of a diverse facility covering all wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. This facility will build on and eventually replace the Great Observatories. The development of optical and infrared interferometry should be a principal activity, optimized by a lunar site. However, lunar observatories should evolve from simple to complex systems and should not and need not make major demands on the limited amount of manpower envisioned for the first 20 years of the lunar outpost.
