Moon

The Moon is a rocky moon that orbits Earth. It is the only other body humans had landed on (1969-1972). It has been known since the ancient times.

Neil and Buzz
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were the first people on the Moon. Neil Armstrong was first place. Many photos came home with Buzz Aldrin doing a pose on the Moon's surface. Their footprints are still there, and will be for the next 1 million years.

The Side to Never Hide
The Moon only face from Earth. This is because Moon orbits Earth within a little over 27 days. It rotates the same amount of time. The Moon appears in the day, too. The far side of the Moon has most craters that appear on the Moon.

Phases
Moon has eight phases, a new moon is the first. The Moon is still here, however you cannot see it. The second phase is the waxing crescent. Its side is barely lit, but the poles are lit more. The third phase is the first quarter. At this point, the right side of the Moon appears what we can see appears. The fourth phase of Moon is waxing gibbous. A waxing gibbous is almost lit fully, except the left side is still invisible here. The fifth phase is the full Moon, it has a magnitude of -12.7, mostly maria and mountains can be seen. Maria are parts that were once flooded by lava, but had cooled and dried, they look darker gray than the mountains. Then, the waning gibbous appears. The waning gibbous has small light on the right. The third quarter shows the left side of what we can see of the Moon. The waning crescent looks similar to the letter "C". Then the new moon appears, and the cycle starts again.

Lunar Eclipses
Lunar eclipses are visible. The Moon turns red-brownish in color. This is called a lunar eclipse. Sometimes Earth's shadow may be visible, however, even if total, the Moon will still be visible.
