It was Galileo Galilei who first observed mountains and craters on the moon, thus discovering the moon to be far from smooth. He made these observations somewhere between 1612 and 1615. The notion that the moon was a perfectly smooth sphere has been attributed to the Ancient Greek Philosopher Aristotle.
