Astronomy Cast Ep. 113: The Moon - Part 1

http://www.astronomycast.com/archive/ From Nov 3, 2008. Hey, here’s a topic we haven’t really gotten around to yet… the Moon. Today we look at our closest astronomical companion: the Moon. What impact does the Moon have on our lives, where did it come from, who walked on it, and are we ever going to walk on it again? We’re going to learn about the phases, the tides, and even a little bit about NASA’s plans to send humans back to the Moon.   We've added a new way to donate to 365 Days of Astronomy to support editing, hosting, and production costs.
