• Essential Questions

    To better understand Astronomy

  • How have scientists used observations to learn about the solar system/universe?

  • How can we use models to represent something as big as space?

  • Why do objects in the universe move in such predictable patterns?

Getting to know our moon

Our nearest neighbor in space might seem close enough for us to fully understand it, but we still have so much to learn about the moon. The lunar cycle has far-reaching impacts on earth that are out of this world!
