Moon (IOS): Earth's Satellite

Earth has one natural satellite, our moon. Shining bright in the sky it almost looks like you could reach out and touch it! But Earth’s moon is about 238,000 miles away! Learn about all the other moons in our solar system, the different phases of the moon, what the moon’s atmosphere is like, and the explorations and interesting facts we have learned through the discovery and landings made on this wonderful bright circle in the sky. Get out your telescope and take a peek! This book will allow students to understand that patterns in the natural world can be observed, used to describe phenomena, and used as evidence.
