The Moon

The glowy ball that lights up the sky is known as our moon. The moon has been around for 4.53 billion years.

Did you know that the moon controls the tides? All tides are controlled by the moon, but theres one tide that’s quite interesting it’s called neap tides.

When the full moon or new moon appears, the gravitational pull of the moon and sun are combined. At these times the high tides are very high and the low tides are very low. This is known as a spring high tide.

The moon is far away but it doesn't look like it. The moon is actually 384,400 km away from earth. If you were to travel to the moon it would take 3 days to get there and 2 and a half days to get back in a rocket ship.

If you’ve never seen a blood moon these are the latest blood moons. The 28th September 2015 total lunar eclipse is the fourth and final in a series of four total lunar eclipses called the lunar tetrad. The first three eclipses of the tetrad took place on April 15 2014, October 8 2014 and April 4 2015.

Moon phases are when you see different shapes of the moon. But did you know that the moon never changes shape! The sun puts light on the side or all of the moon so the rest is pitch black. That creates phases. There are a lot of names for phases, there are 8 phases that starts with crescent to end of with new moon. There are 2 Crescents, 2 gibbous, 1 full moon, 1 first quarter, 1 third quarter, lucky last but not least new moon.
