The Moon spins around our world in about 29 days a spin.
Some people who may not know much about astronomy, might say that the Moon is a planet, but it is actually a natural satellite.
The Sun lights the Moon witch lights up the nights on the Earth, thanks to the Moon, we can see at night.
The Moon has phases, witch it stays for some time. The dark parts of some phases are black because the earth is covering up that area.
In the past, the moon was attacked by a meteor shower, that is the reason you can see many craters on it.
When the Moon, the Sun and the Earth align, we have the solar or lunar eclipse.
Some other planets have moons too. All of them (except the ones that don"t have) have more than one moon.
In 1969 Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin (two astronauts) landed on the moon for the first time and put the American flag there representing that they were the first ones to step on the moon. They went there in the Apollo 11 space ship, the first space ship of Project Apollo to get to the Moon.
Today people still go to the Moon and still study about it.
