And sadly, no it doesn’t mean you can moon your neighbor. It’s all about the moon in the sky. So we decided to dig up some info on the moon and here’s what we found:
1. Earth’s moon is the 5th largest moon in our solar system. Jupiter has the largest moon named Ganymede.
2. The Moon is drifting away from us…which is better than it crashing into us. Has anyone seen Melancholia with Kirsten Dunst? (shudders) the sound of the moon in that movie haunts me
3. In square miles, the total surface area of the Moon is smaller than the total surface area of Asia.
4. Shadows are darker on the Moon than they are on Earth. There’s no air or atmosphere on the Moon to scatter direct sunlight.
5. The word “lunatic” literally means “moon sick.”
The more you know!
