A FALL OF MOONDUST

Pan SF paperback, 10th printing, 1976. Cover painting
by Dean Ellis (thanks: Mark).

"The setting is the Moon in the 21st century and it is depicted with brilliant imagination. 
But the vital core of the novel is this: will the crew and passengers of the Dust-cruiser 'Selene', buried fifteen metres down in the Sea of Thirst, be rescued before half a dozen possible catastrophes overcome them?"

The cover was painted by Dean Ellis, for a Ballantine edition of a novel by James White: alien starship approaches Earth, astronauts explore the interior but cannot decide if the creatures within are animals or intelligent beings; the title eludes me. ALL JUDGEMENT FLED, perhaps?
