In this episode you will learn all about the moon's phases.

You have probably seen that the moon changes shape. These "changing shapes" are also known as the phases of the moon. The phases happen because the moon is constantly moving around the Earth. The part of the moon lit up by sunlight changes as the moon moves around the Earth each day or night. I hope you enjoy listening to why you can see the moon as it is and when you look at it next time you'll know something new.

This is part 6 of the new series on Space based on the book "The Mysteries of the Universe" that I will be reading for this summer. This episode is about the Constellations.

THE MOON

Gaze up at the moon on a clear night and you'll be looking at an object that has billions of years of history etched into it's surface. It's craterd landscape tells the story of countless astroid and comet impacts long ago in the lifetime of the solar system. but how did this ball of rock end up orbiting earth? that is something all scientists are confused about even today. there is a theorie that there was a second planet and that planet blew up or whatever I said in the audio, and when that planet blew up, some parts went flying into space and some parts stayed. those parts that stayed fused together and became the moon.

When the moon is farthest away from earth, you could fit seven different planets in the space between.

My question is "How did all these planets fuse up to be a sphere?"
