On Monday, March 25th, there was a lunar eclipse. Our intern, Alexandra, and her sister, Ariana, went out with their telescope to capture some pictures of the moon during the eclipse. The photos turned out so well that we used one in the thumbnail for this content. A big thanks to Ariana for her amazing photography skills!
It’s fascinating to think about how little we really know about the moon. The moon was formed from a collision around 4.5 billion years ago, and it is not the only moon in our solar system. In fact, there are many moons in our solar system that are just as fascinating and mysterious as the moon. Jeff St. Clair will provide more information on moons in the solar system and what makes them unique.
Some discussion questions to consider:
1. What do you think the moon is made of? Is it rock or something else?
2. Have you ever seen the moon during the day? If so, how did it look?
3. If you could travel to the moon, what would you want to bring with you? Would you bring anything specific or just enjoy being able to see it up close?
