About this title

Synopsis

Grab your gravity boots and prepare to explore our nearest neighbor in space and every aspect of its influence over life on Earth. Large, colorful spreads with action-oriented text reveal the answers to questions every young child wants to know, including why the Moon seems to change shape, and why it's covered in craters. Step-by-step illustrations, and informative captions explain more complicated events such as eclipses, and the effects on tides and climate of lunar phases. Also covered are the various lunar spacecraft and landings, as well as the latest discoveries and future missions.
