Moon

Since before the advent of writing, the Moon and its various phases have played an integral part in how we view life around us. From influencing crop rotations, calendars, and even religious holidays, the phases of the Moon have gone on to have deep and long lasting significance in history.

When you look up at the night sky, do you ever wonder why the Moon changes over the course of a month or why it is sometimes not visible? Why are only some portions of the Moon illuminated during some nights, and what explains this process? Answering these questions lie at the heart of understanding the Moon, and can be quite surprising.
