WALK INTO THE MOON AND DISCOVER IT'S STRANGE INFLUENCE SECRETS.
The Secret History of the Moon is a 2020 short speculative animated documentary film created by astronomy-themed musician and filmmaker John D. Boswell.
It explores the proposed explanations on how the Moon was formed, using rocks collected from the Apollo 11.
The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite.
At about one-quarter the diameter of Earth,
It is the largest natural satellite in the Solar System relative to the size of a major planet.
The fifth largest satellite in the Solar System overall, and is larger than any known dwarf planet.

What are the benefits of Moon?
The brightest and largest object in our night sky,
the Moon makes Earth a more livable planet by moderating our home planet's wobble on its axis,
leading to a relatively stable climate.

Back to the Moon
The Moon's surface is actually dark. ...
The Sun and the Moon are not the same size. ...
The Moon is drifting away from the Earth. ...
The Moon was made when a rock smashed into Earth. ...
The Moon makes the Earth move as well as the tides. ...
The Moon has quakes too. ...
There is water on the Moon!
It also causes tides, creating a rhythm that has guided humans for thousands of years.
On most nights of the year, the sky is lit up by our nearest neighbor in space, the moon.
The Latin word for the moon is luna.
The word lunar means anything to do with the moon.
The moon travels around the earth in just over 27 days.
Have you noticed that the moon seems to change shape as the month goes by? The moon does not give out its own light,
but we can see it because it reflects sunlight.
It also moves around the sun and, as it does, the sun's light falls on part of its surface.
The shape we see depends on how much of the moon's surface that faces us is lit up by the sun.
The changing shapes are called phases.
The moon has a much weaker gravity, or pull, than the earth.
Because of this, it cannot hold on to any gases to make up an atmosphere. Where there is no atmosphere, there can be no sound and no weather.
The moon's phases
The moon's phases are caused by the position of the moon in relation to the sun and earth. When the moon is between the earth and the sun, we can't see it at all.
We call it the new moon. About a week later, we see half of it lit up.
This is the first quarter. About a week later, all of it is lit up and it is the full moon.
It is half lit up again at the last quarter, about a week later. It eventually - disappears at the next new moon, 29% days after the previous one.
As the moon changes from new moon to full moon, it is said to be waxing. During the period from full moon back to new moon, it is said to be waning.
When the moon looks larger than half a full moon, it is called gibbous.
(Gibbous moon)
The moon's dimensions
Part of the surface of the moon consists of great, flat plains that are covered in dust.
The rest of the surface is made up of highlands and towering mountain ranges.
Some of the mountains soar to a height of over 23,100 feet (7,000 meters).
Everywhere on the surface there are craters, which are holes made by lumps of rock raining down from outer space.
The smaller craters are just a few inches wide, while others are great depressions or pits up to 700 miles (1.100 kilometers) across.
The moon is about a quarter the size of the earth. It measures 2,160 miles (3,476 kilometers) across.
The distance from the earth to the moon is about 238,857 miles (384,403 kilometers). We never see the far side of the moon from earth.
This is because the moon rotates on its axis in the same time it takes to circle the earth.
But we know what the far side of the moon looks like from photographs taken by satellites in space or by astronauts in their spacecraft.
