The Moon is the only place in our
solar system,
other than the Earth,
where humans have vistited.


Kyle has recently become fascinated (and a little obsessed) with taking pictures of the Moon. We have a new camera that can zoom in on the Moon's surface. Kyle has to set the camera on a tripod and it takes a lot of time and patience to get it zoomed in just right. He is amazed by his new camera and by the Moon. He is getting really good at taking these pictures. I think the pictures are very cool...and I am not just saying that. :)



Interesting Moon facts:
*The Moon is a little lopsided. Its crust is thicker on one side than the other.
*You always see the same side of the Moon from Earth. You would have to go into space to see the other side.
*There is no air to breathe on the Moon.
*The Moon is much smaller than the Earth. However, the pull of its gravity can still affect the Earth's ocean tides.
