Vague explanation of Moment maps

I'm orientating myself for some subject for a combined mathematics/physics bachelor project. One of the things I encountered had to do with classical mechanics and symplectic geometry. One important keyword here was Moment maps. Now, I'm still looking for a subject, and I found it kinda hard to get a vague idea of Moment maps for orientating myself, since for that I should study the articles throughly, however I only want a vague idea of the concept, and whether it could be nice for a combined math/physics bachelor project. I have some basis in differential geometry / representation theory. So, could someone maybe inform me a bit about it? Thank you!

Joel Robbin has a reasonable exposition of moment maps here.
