THE MOON

The moon is our closest neighbor in space, and even when nobody lives on it, there are no plants, no life at all, it is our nighttime companion most of the time. Can you imagine how our sky would look without a moon? Sometimes we cannot see it, but we know it is there!

It is very interesting to learn about the moon, so I have found some interesting websites with cool information about our beautiful moon, click on the links and find out!
